8. Riding The Snake (4:13)
Caged... and riding the snake straight down from the night
True love for the fix and she never been able
One minute to kick back the feelings enticed and you know it's never the same
Venomous poison constricting your life
Life... enough of the taste
Sweet demonic night raised up on her legs
Everytime you encounter the demon your future forever is lost
While riding the snake who suffers the loss
Is there no shame.?. Is life so bad without you.?.
So far away... and I still can't fight you!
Climb... straight into the veins
Ran into the cell, straight up to the snake
And it never will ever be hidding from futures of innocence lost
Will we ever escape from the clinch of the jaws?
Drowning in pools filled with lies... filled in with pain
Watch how the serpent survives... simmering hate!
Caged... and riding the snake
Love loss for the fix
Bit down on the snake
Fate sending her back
No place to go
Will she ever change her ways?
Spent to many nights and can not take raw emotions from others...
Drowning in pools filled with lies... condemned in pain
Watch how the serpent survives... simmering hate!
True love for the fix and she never been able
One minute to kick back the feelings enticed and you know it's never the same
Venomous poison constricting your life
Life... enough of the taste
Sweet demonic night raised up on her legs
Everytime you encounter the demon your future forever is lost
While riding the snake who suffers the loss
Is there no shame.?. Is life so bad without you.?.
So far away... and I still can't fight you!
Climb... straight into the veins
Ran into the cell, straight up to the snake
And it never will ever be hidding from futures of innocence lost
Will we ever escape from the clinch of the jaws?
Drowning in pools filled with lies... filled in with pain
Watch how the serpent survives... simmering hate!
Caged... and riding the snake
Love loss for the fix
Bit down on the snake
Fate sending her back
No place to go
Will she ever change her ways?
Spent to many nights and can not take raw emotions from others...
Drowning in pools filled with lies... condemned in pain
Watch how the serpent survives... simmering hate!
