“Serpent of Old” is the first and only installment in Seven Lions' metal-infused side project Gathering Darkness. A distinct departure from his usual melts of melodic dubstep and trance, the track features distorted, screamed vocals by Nostalghia, with a turbulent spiel of trance growls and eerie me...
[Verse 1]
Bully, freak
Monster, creep
Slow crawl, blood
In my lungs
Fire, hot
Get me off
Hurt me, cruel
Brand me, mule
[Chorus]
Let's play dead like dogs in grass
Now you see they like you
Let's play dead like dogs in grass
Now you see they like you
[Verse 2]
I bear a cross inside my throat
It purifies my deadly sins
I am a nun for all you know
The liquid dream inside your veins
Come to me with all your anguish
Come to me in high demand
I am a woman, between my legs
Hire me, I am your man
[Drop]
[Verse 3]
Punch it, pull it
Let it all out
Spread love, disease
Psych ward clown
Cult-like ether
Shackles are free-dumb
Suck her dry
Rape her and leave her
I want more from life
I want more from life
I want more from life
I want more from life
I want more from life
[Drop]
(I want more from life)
[Bridge]
Come into my hollow cave
Nothing left inside you
Cum into my hollow cave
Nothing left inside you
I am your god
[Drop]
[Outro]
Let's play dead like dogs in grass
Now you see they like you
Let's play dead like dogs in grass
Now you see they like you
Let's play dead like dogs in grass
Now you see they like you
Let's play dead like dogs in grass
Now you see they like you
