Serpent’s Egg Lyrics by Leon of Athens

Xenos

2018

[Verse 1]
In desperation
The egg of the snake is beginning to break
Something’s wrong
It seems like I lie
But I don’t have much time left at all
[Verse 2]
In isolation
The windows are closed
And the screen flashing light on the wall
I used to be kind
But I grew up too fast now I’m not
[Chorus]
In the school they were teaching us war
How to win, how to swallow them all
I said one day I’ll break out
From the fog that surrounds me
I’ll save my soul
One day I’ll break out from the fog that’s surrounding us all
[Verse 3]
Across the nation
The egg of the snake is beginning to break
All alone
I used to be kind
But I grew up too fast
Now I’m not
[Verse 4]
In isolation
They’re marching in rank got the fierce spreading fast
Like a ghost
We don’t have much time here
The snakes for our crimes are at close
[Chorus]
In the school they were teaching us war
How to win
How to swallow them all
I said one day I’ll break out
From the fog that surrounds me
I’ll save my soul
One I’ll break out from the fog that’s surrounding us all
[Outro]
At school they were teaching us war
How to win
How to swallow them all
I said one day I’ll break out
From the fog that surrounds me
I’ll save my soul
One I’ll break out from the fog that’s surrounding us all
