The Heart of a Snake Lyrics


Music and lyrics: Tom

Like a crime against nature is to call back past time

Poisoned fangs of the vampire, your song of joy when I die

Lonely wolf, mental killer, grey hunter in the night

Sleeping pain burns through the conscience, eternal lust

Fleeting strikes beat in my mind

Creeping Leviathan of ugly kind

Perfidious bitch, obscene reptile, the angel of the trust

Divine death, deceived beggar, acid hatred, whirling dust

Walking God through my fire, slavish master-ruling slave

Vicious queen of desire, I shall dance on your grave

I am bleeding from the thousand wounds

Tearing and ripping by the monstrous devil's hounds

A misanthrope-you call me the man of sin

Self-loving predator with the instincts to win

Chorus:

Let the lightning kills you without a warning

Let your tears of pan fill the bed of a lake

Let death strikes you in the gray of cold dawning

You're the tongue of a viper

The heart of a snake

A carnivore-ruthless and cold-the only way to live

Insidious lord-audacious and bold-the only way I believe

A criminal, the son of evil, the foe is my name

Apostolic rush of virtues is like a cancer in my brain

The groaning in my subconsciousness

When I touch the bottom of your worthlessness

I see your mouth-full of honey and peace

But my skin is burned after your bloody kiss

Chorus:

But the crowds of goons fawning upon the whores

Victimize their brains to the hallowed fake

Worship glittering crown of thrones

The tongue of a viper

The heart of a snake

Intermezzo:

”Fallen from primeval innocence and ease,

(When thornless fields employed him, but to please)

The laborer toils-and from his dripping brow

Moistens the lengthening furrows of the plough.

In vain he scorns and spurns his altered state,

Tries each poor shift, and strives to cheat his fate,

In vain new-shapes his name, to shun the ill-Serf, hireling, help-the curse

pursues him still,

Changeless the doom remains: the mincing phrase,

May mock high-heaven, but not reverse its ways.”

”The Hireling and the Slave”

W.J. Grayson, 1856

Chorus:

Confused generations of deluded lambs

Who cannot even bear to see a day-break

In the world of darkness you play a part of the slaves

(For)

The tongue of a viper

The heart of a snake

You told me your loyalty will lasts forever

But now I know it were only promises and lies

When dirty tricks change your nature

And the honour becomes the deceit

You're only another fake

You're the heart of a snake

The tongue of a viper

The heart of a snake
