Lyrics
The Serpent Is Rising
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.
In the abyss of space
From the center of time
A superman race
Moves the Serpent to climb
The journey has lasted
Seven ages or more
Life after life
Must pass through the door
The secret revealed
When you leave your cave
Is a glory of thunder
And life from the grave
The Serpent is rising
Uncoiling in your spine
Bringing you light
From the depths of your mind
The people have massed
In the center of town
We drink from a glass
And the world turns around
The Serpent is rising
Uncoiling in your spine
Bringing you light
From the depths of your mind
The Serpent is rising
Uncoiling in your spine
Bringing you light
From the depths of your mind
The Serpent is rising
Uncoiling in your spine
Bringing you light
From the depths of your mind
