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?
