2. The Serpent and the King (4:19)
Idols to their worlds
Manifesting anger,
Conjurers of evil times!
We can sense the danger!
They claim every soul,
Show you who's the leader!
Bow before iconoclasts,
Creators of disaster!
They play with stars and sulphur just for heaven's sake.
To them we are a fantasy to see who's first to break.
When good and evil go to war we leave it up to fate.
Since time began they fought for man incurring love and hate.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
Wiping out the weak,
Lording their creation!
Where you hide they'll find to seek!
Feeding those mistaken!
Pyramid of bones
Satiate their hunger!
Volatilic, they condone,
Sympathize no longer!
They play with stars and sulphur just for heaven's sake.
To them we are fantasy to see who's first to break.
When good and evil go to war we leave it up to fate.
Since time began they fought for man incurring love and hate!
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The end is coming soon.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
It's time to meet your doom!
Cast out of paradise temptation's wrath.
Constrict self-sacrifice, the tree of life.
They claim every soul,
Show you who's the leader.
Bow before iconoclasts,
Creators of disaster.
They play with stars and sulphur just for heaven's sake.
To them we are fantasy to see who's first to break.
When good and evil go to war we leave it up to fate.
Since time began they fought for man incurring love and hate.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The serpent and the king.
The end is coming soon.
The serpent and the king.
Prepare to meet your doom!
Manifesting anger,
Conjurers of evil times!
We can sense the danger!
They claim every soul,
Show you who's the leader!
