The Snake Handler Lyrics by Crypt Sermon

The Ruins of Fading Light

2019

Seraphic shadows dot the sky
Tattered wings on the horizon
And at bruised first light we'll fly
Like the veins of hell opened up to the dawn

I have seen the night time sun
Turnin' the rainbow black
The histories can't be undone
Come on, now there's no turning back

The fire in our eyes is real (Now)
Can you see it burn
When they tell us how to feel
There are lessons they must learn
Savage kings have ruled too long
We're only serfs and thralls
But there is power in our song
It can shake the castle walls

The world is cold
And I've lost my hold
Yet here we are screaming for magic
I can feel their eyes
They're inside my mind
It's all so real and it's tragic
Wrap yourself
Around my arm
My roots are like road maps they twist and they vine
Sink your teeth
Into my veins
The same foolish blood that runs through yours and mine

We'll take up snakes
Self-righteous
Holier than-thou
We'll take up snakes
Until the fires come raining down

Now fire rain down

The crimson slash in the sky is ours now
Do you feel it burn
Calling on unholy powers
There are lessons they must learn
Standing at the mouth of hell
The trumpet sounding (ring out)
Now our kingdom is at hand
Come and take us if you can

The world is cold
And I've lost my hold
Yet here we are screaming for magic
I feel their eyes
They're inside my mind
It's all so real and it's tragic
Wrap yourself
Around my arm
My roots are like roadmaps they twist and they vine
Sink your teeth
Into my veins
The same foolish blood that runs through yours and mine

We'll take up snakes
Self righteous holier than thou
We'll take up snakes
With poison in our veins we will drown
We'll take up snakes
Until the fires come raining down
