The Serpent Lyrics by Besomorph
Under the shadow where the roots collide
A serpent whispers
Truth untied
Its tongue so sharp
Its gaze so wide
It never swayed
It never lied
No venom dripped
No secrets to hide
The serpent spoke
The earth complied
Oh the serpent that never lied
It told the tales the world denied
With every word
The myths all died
Oh the serpent that never lied
The wind would howl
The rivers screamed
But still its voice cut through the dream
It spoke of hearts
Both cracked and clean
A prophet’s curse
Or so it seemed
No forked deceit
No gilded guise
Just steady truth in endless ties
Oh the serpent that never lied
It told the tales the world denied
With every word
The myths all died
Oh the serpent that never lied
The serpent that never lied
Oh the serpent that never lied
The serpent that never lied
Oh the serpent that never lied
