Serpent Speech
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[lyrics: Andersson, music: Andersson]
a serpent crawls in the ashes
in the remains of human misery
awake but sleeping in the hour of disgust
behind bars your mind is free
sleeping-pills of wormwood
taken by mother insane - but
life goes on - life goes on
towards death in the fast line
genocide, no more lies
the modern man is a freak
shut your eyes, suicide
the serpent laughs as we speak
[Lead: Cederlund]
come and join us in the reptile dance
dance with me and the devil - we
fucked it up - fucked it up
and we'll keep fucking it up as we
level
[Lead: Cederlund]
