Confront the Serpent
Core Device

Leather skin, blackened eyes

And a forked tongue

Speaks to you in your sleep

In your mind you hear its voice

Like your own, its words seem so true


Unable to deny it

Your limbs move in motion

Swing knives through


(1st Chorus)


Face to face with it

Every word burns like fire

Bleeding when you come

To confront the serpent


Pain surges high

Try to stand, try to fight

You're hit before you know

You've lost the battle

And your price is salvation

Can you pay the final toll?


(Repeat 1st chorus)


Venom tastes like happiness

Puking frees me to confess

Showing my colors for what they are

My skin turning shades of green

Bruises underneath

Rise to see the sun as it dries


Day, it's your final

Day, it's my final way


Through the night know

That I'm nearing, courting, you


My voice flows like gold

Valued by kings and queens alike

A seductive blend of hissing and singing

Sends your soul alight

So why do you try

When it's so easy, not to


I enter into you and your world

Like a friend I'll comfort, bring hope

One day you'll try but it's too late

Once I'm there, I'm in for good

Clawing, digging, grinding

Bash your face to the floor

Seeing life slip away

And I'm at the door


(2nd chorus)


Hatred pain for the tire slain

Cities fall and the darkness reigns

Who's a Christ or Buddha save

When nothing lives no more


One taste of highs

One racist heart

One saving prayer for life

And the beating drum


Of your eyeless plight

One taste of highs

While our few cities burn

We'll set a trail tonight and rip this world apart


(Repeat 2nd chorus)
