The Poison
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.
Poisoned snakes with doubled tongues
Pretend to know the law
They menace with eternal hell
The fiend on velvet paws
They say what you should do or not
To keep you just in line
Praying they will fool the blind
Till the end of time
Fight the fire, the licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in the shade
He spites his wicked lies, the poison
He slithers round his victim till he bites
He injects the fuel of hate, the poison
And the fallen angel
Spreads his blackened wings
They pray the wine, they serve the lie
That's dripping in your ears
They daze your mind
They need your soul to oil their evil gear
A mindless and obedient slave
To the lord of flies
Their hearts are wrapped in blackest night
Cashing in on lies
Fight the fire, the licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in the shade
He spites his wicked lies, the poison
He slithers round his victim till he bites
He injects the fuel of hate, the poison
And the fallen angel
Spreads his blackened wings
The evilness lives in their heart
Lucifer's the name
They bet your life, your soul's the prize
The pool in the game
They say they saw the god of light
But they will never proof
I know their god, they're praying to
Two horns and cloven hoof
Fight the fire, the licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in the shade
