Serpent's Tongue
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.
Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny
For I have seen past the veil of truth
Through your dead prophecies
Bite your wild tongue and pray for the eyes
The future holds no promises
Bite your tongue to see
That the answers don’t reside in the sky
Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny
For I have seen past the veil of truth
Right through your dead prophecies
Bite your wild tongue and pray for the eyes to see
Shrouded in a cloud of mist
The future holds no promises
Except a certain end to this worlds selfishness
The future holds no promises
Except a certain end
Show me the face under the shadows of your hooded cloak
Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny
Pray for the eyes to see
That the answers we look for don’t reside in the sky
Clear your mind of these poison thoughts
Or heads will be severed by the sharp words of the soothsayer
We are all bound by the same, same flesh and blood
By the same laws of our King
Show me the face
Tell me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny
For I have seen past the veil of truth
Through your dead prophecies
We are all bound by the same, same flesh and blood
By the same laws of our King
The future holds no promises
Except a certain end to this worlds selfishness
Show me what you’ve seen in the stars of my destiny
