Lyrics:
Here I am at the forfeit of time
I am secured in the burgs of damnation
Where do you stand, on the pale grounds?!
Just wait and feel the punishment of the reptile...
As lost as I was, I always knew of her majesty
Slithering across the walls of reality
You, the unaware, shall pay for your hypocrisy
Do you even dare stare back into her eyes?!
She arrives...
Death comes!
She stares in your eyes, your soul turns to stone
Let all be deprived of their flesh and bone
The silent wra(a)th, will plant in your soul
Do you feel the fire?!
Slit your own throat, let your veins burst
All you can do is give your life
The snake was here, here all along
At the world's wretched tomb
For this is the unhallowed mantra
To the angels of heaven
Your god forbid you from all that's Haram
Unblessed you shall be and face the
Serpent's gaze
There I stood looking at the red skies
Crumbling heavens and devotees of ego
Let it shatter like the specs of all life
Lay in the tomb of all regret
Like blind rats you were led by a false light
By he who sings hymns of lies
She stares in your eyes, your soul turns to stone
Let all be deprived of their flesh and bone
The silent wrath, will plant in your soul
Do you feel the fire?!
Slit your own throat, let your veins burst
All you can do is give your life
The snake was here, here all along
At the world's wretched tomb
For this is the unhallowed mantra
To the angels of heaven
Your god forbid you from all that's Haram
Unblessed you shall be and face the
Serpent's gaze
With snake we dance, through immortal orgasm
And shred the skin of ignorance
She slithers high, into the sky
Your fear is our joy!
With snake we dance, through immortal orgasm
Unchain us of life and all that holds back
She slithers high, into the sky
Now she gazes into your soul…
