Serpents

[Intro]
Don't get too close
That place is haunted
Fear not the ghosts
'Cause she sent them running

[Bridge]
She sleeps beneath the surface
Consorting with the serpents
She strikes without a purpose

[Verse 1]
A dark face in a corridor
Deceptively beautiful
She's watching you
She's in everything you do
Her kiss it tastes so sweet
But left me with a lethargy
I couldn't shake, I made a grave mistake

[Chorus]
I gave her my heart, she didn't want it
Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it
Since then I haven't been the same
Needed a victim and she got it
Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it
Some men don't dare to speak her name

[Verse 2]
She picked me up from my decline
Healed my wounds with love and wine
Dosed me up and closed my eyes
A taste of poison
She gave me all that I desired
Sung the songs of angel choirs
Preached the words of death and fire and left me burning

[Chorus]
I gave her my heart, she didn't want it
Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it
Since then I haven't been the same
Needed a victim and she got it
Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it
Some men don't dare to speak her name

[Bridge]
She sleeps beneath the surface
Consorting with the serpents
She strikes without a purpose
