Shadow of the Snake Lyrics

Music by: Blues Funeral
Lyrics by: Maurice Eggenschwiler

The night is black with untold secrets
But the light on the hill is growing
Dark veils shuffle forth
Beneath the full moon glowing

Mount a cross in shallow earth
Wreathed between trees swaying
A gesture of cosmic deference
But not a moment for praying

Farewell my sanity
Your tears are just a forgery
These winds recall a memory
Of a time addled fallacy (yeah)

Thirty pieces of tainted silver
And a kiss for old time’s sake
Abandon reason in favor of treason
In the shadow of the Snake

A glass of absinthe to clear my head
False visions green and enticing
Devils summon me with Gabriel’s horn
Frozen valley arising

Deprived of all vitality
Your siren call, pure sophistry
A rising tide of malady
Descending on the revelry (yeah)
