The Serpent's Tongue

Open your eyes!

In spite of these creations

a venom settles in the blood

with fangs that will not rest til they've engulfed

everything, the sky and humans all alike.

Dispersing vile scripture as abundant as the night.

This poison takes but a single drop to thrive.

The vipers waltz in time to slay the conscience back to blind.

Slowly digesting and conspiring with mortal threads.

This evil's woven firm its lies into our heads.

A single cry will silence all

but a single pierce will bring to fall

despite all odds we must confront

what our deepest fears have presented us.

You've got the truth before you

and yet your eyes are shut.

How can you speak

when the serpent's got your tongue?

This clarity can't be denied but before us stands the initial face of phases.

Our fears will flee, our strength will hide.

Open your eyes. Open your eyes.

The serpent goes by many names and wears many a disguise.

Open your eyes or let this poison slowly seep and consume you whole.

Don't let the serpent catch your tongue and drown your soul.

(Open your eyes) This blindness is an ailment

incurable by any means

but tearing the seams from the eyes

to bow down to the King of all mankind.

Behold untainted sight.

The truth is inscribed in the veins under the eyes.

Release from the clutch of the serpentine

to behold untainted sight.

You've got the truth before you

and yet your eyes are shut.

How can you speak

when the serpent's got your tongue?

Open your eyes!
