the serpent's kiss

covenant of pure corruption

sink my teeth deep into you

solemn oath of sheer destruction

nightmare

through and through

in that hour - i'll devour

hope is swallowed up in pain

taste the venom - feel the power

coursing through my veins

i'm corruption

i'm destruction

through and through

trust in me. for i will set you free

with a serpent's kiss

with a serpent's kiss

be my lights and i won't stray - make me beg;

make me pray

tell me when to laugh or cry - when to live

and when to die

forgotten and betrayed

rotting and decayed

left to wither - without a voice

left to slither - without a choice

crucifier - spitting fire

say your little empty prayers

this empire - growing higher

to this spite i swear

sharp tongue severs - like a razor

swimming in a sea of rage

vindicators - masqueraders

all the world's my stage

i devour

i empower - god of pain

trust in me. for i will set you free

with a serpent's kiss

how could it come to this?

with a serpent's kiss
