Split tongue black lung
Two-faced faked grace
Venom welcomed
Gold scaled bloody nails
No hope. No love
Eyes bleached trust leeched
Rough hands commands
No love. No light
No light. No heart
Raise them condemned
No view left through
No heart. No hope
Love has grown for those sidewinding for control
Vices
Blood and tears turned to fat
Growing thick
Vices
You have been giving us sweet lies
We accepted in our dimmed eyes
Now we face a hunger that is without an end
Slowly creep you rattle forward
Shed your skin, eat the weak
Let your color run onward
Shed your skin, eat the weak
Love has grown//
This we applaud
Us pleading to a fraud
Now we have grown a hunger that is without an end
Slowly creep//
Control
Why do we heed by snakes teach?
How can we love when snakes preach?
