Serpentine Songtext
von Catalysis

Leave the husk of the victims you bled
A pile of ashes from the words you said

Whispering poison
With a silver forked tongue
You wind through the cracks
Of a world undone
The venom you drip
Is a honey-sweet lie
Hypnotic coercion
Before your goodbye
You slither the halls
Where the trusting reside
Serpentine teeth
That you masterfully hide
Filled with remorse
Their defences collapse
Caught in the friction
Of your fingertips


Snake
Smother
Shed your skin
Become another

Snake
Smother
Shed your skin
Shed your skin


Their vision is blurry
They grope in the dark
You choke out the embers
Extinguish the spark
A desolate landscape
Is all that remains
After the drought
Parasitical rains
See no reflection
You feel no remorse
Just a hunger that drives
Your destructive dark force
The final constriction
The shudder, the plea
Demon
Set yourself free

Snake
Smother
Shed your skin
Become another

Snake
Smother
Shed your skin
Shed your skin

A viper′s strike from within
A fatal blow betrays your sin
Beneath the mask
You wear so tight
The shadow of the truth still bites

Like a serpent you're shedding your skin
You move from victim to victim
Leaving a trail of destruction
Like a serpent you′re shedding your skin

Shed your skin
Remain so cruel
A new veneer
The next fool
You are the sickness
But leave no trace
The venomous cycle
No end to the chase

Uncoil
Leave it all behind
The empty shell
Of a broken mind
Cast off
End the masquerade
Regenerate
Consume and degrade

The mirror reflects
A flawless disguise
Cold-blooded hunter
Penetrating eyes
You gorge on the spirit
You feast on the fault
Then wait for the urge
Of the predator's call

Snake
Smother
Shed your skin
Become another

Snake
Smother
Shed your skin
Shed your skin

A viper's strike from within
A fatal blow betrays your sin
Beneath the mask
You wear so tight
The shadow of the truth still bites

Like a serpent you′re shedding your skin
