Man The Serpent Songtext / Lyric

Man The Serpent Songtext
Lights are out
Voices have faded away and the night has slowly flowed in
Around the dark waters are yet still,
But hear them shiver in the distance -
Shivers that herald the tempest to come Alone, it's all that I am and anywhere I ever will be
A lost soul, a broken heart, a lonely wayfarer in the dark
And no one but me knows what there can be From the swamp, an evil chill rises to grasp on the throat
Whispering trees are plotting in the fog
The bitter air poisons the tongue: here they come

Hushing, hushing serpents are the first,
But soon comes the rest of the horde
Circling, circling always nearer -
Circling my fragile little boat

And I know there is still more to come,
After the beasts that bite and scratch and tear the flesh apart,
After the savages that grind the bones to dust,
After the fiends, after the devils that set the mind ablaze

Hushing, hushing serpents are the first,
But soon comes the rest of the horde
Circling, circling always nearer -
Circling my fragile little boat
