The Bird and the Snake

The morning is coming with a hunger to feed
I’ll do what I’ve got to get the taste that I need
Minute by minute and hour by hour
I’ll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour

Give me a feather and I’ll trade you my friend
It’s just a single feather dear, it won’t be the end
Watch and you’ll learn young one, I’m not what you think
I’ll give you all you’d ever want, to eat and to drink

It’s too far to run. It’s too hard to fly
There’s got to be a better way
It’s too far to run. It’s too hard to fly
A feather’s small to give away

One was the deal before but now I want three
So if you want to get your fix you’ll have to agree
Don’t you fret now, don’t you fear, you’ve still got much to give
I’ll keep my word if you keep yours; you still need me to live

I’m too slow to run
I’m too weak to fly
(I’m too slow to run)
I’m tired living day by day
I’m too slow to run
I’m too weak to fly
(I’m too slow to run)
How much will I have to pay?

Fool don’t you see, you haven’t a choice
No one will listen, hear out your voice
You’re lost and accursed
(Lost and accursed)
You’re dying of thirst
(Dying of thirst)
Stop with your fighting, I’m all you’ve got
None hear your crying, You’re hooked and caught
Was three, now it’s six
(Was three, now it’s six.)
Come get your fix
(Come get your fix.)

I’m too scared to run
I’m too nerved to fly
(I’m too scared to run)
I once was friend but now the prey
I’m too scared to run
I’m too nerved to fly
(I’m too scared to run)
Will he save or will he slay?

“Submit yourself to God. Resist the devil and He will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts.”

It’s the last time that you’ll get me
It’s the last time that you’ll get me
It’s your last one so now I’m free
It’s your last one so now I’m free

“He was a murderer from the beginning. He does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar, the father of lies.”

No! All you’ve brought me is pain and grief
All you’ve brought me is pain and grief
No! You deceptive and lying thief
You deceptive and lying thief
No! No! No! No!

Thank You my friend, now I’ll say my goodbye
And as these fangs sink in, you’ll see, I’ll watch as you die
