The Bird And The Snake

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.

The morning is coming with a hunger to feed

I’ll do what I’ve got to get the taste that I need

Minute by minute and hour by hour

I’ll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour

Give me a feather and I’ll trade you my friend

It’s just a single feather dear, it won’t be the end

Watch and you’ll learn young one, I’m not what you think

I’ll give you all you’d ever want, to eat and to drink

It’s too far to run. It’s too hard to fly

There’s got to be a better way

It’s too far to run. It’s too hard to fly

A feather’s small to give away

One was the deal before but now I want three

So if you want to get your fix you’ll have to agree

Don’t you fret now, don’t you fear, you’ve still got much to give

I’ll keep my word if you keep yours; you still need me to live

I’m too slow to run

I’m too weak to fly

(I’m too slow to run)

I’m tired living day by day

I’m too slow to run

I’m too weak to fly

(I’m too slow to run)

How much will I have to pay?

Fool don’t you see, you haven’t a choice

No one will listen, hear out your voice

You’re lost and accursed

(Lost and accursed)

You’re dying of thirst

(Dying of thirst)

Stop with your fighting, I’m all you’ve got

None hear your crying, you’re hooked and caught

Was three, now it’s six

(Was three, now it’s six)

Come get your fix

(Come get your fix)

I’m too scared to run

I’m too nerved to fly

(I’m too scared to run)

I once was friend but now the prey

I’m too scared to run

I’m too nerved to fly

(I’m too scared to run)

Will he save or will he slay?

Submit yourself to God

Cesist the devil and he will flee from you

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you

Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts

It’s the last time that you’ll get me

It’s the last time that you’ll get me

It’s your last one so now I’m free

It’s your last one so now I’m free

He was a murderer from the beginning

We does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him

whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar, the father of lies

No! All you’ve brought me is pain and grief

All you’ve brought me is pain and grief

No! You deceptive and lying thief

You deceptive and lying thief.

No! No! no! no!

Thank you my friend, now I’ll say my goodbye

And as these fangs sink in, you’ll see, I’ll watch as you die
