Brotherhood of the Snake Lyrics


Coiled forever in the darkness below
They await for the right time to strike
Defending the truth and protecting the lies
Reptilian, shedding their skin
They gather in masses, encrypting the stars
To breed slaves sworn to war
The thrashing and bashing and blistering burns
Death brought forth to the worldSerpent's eyes
Always watching you
Without a trace
The covenant of the snake
Succumbing unto your fate
They've been watching you
Through shape-shift eyes
In sumerian disguise
By the gods who decree our faith
By the gods who decree our faithDe-luvium religions of monarchs and gods
The hideous hydra takes shape

The bloodline descendants of its original form
The dragon of Egypt awakes
They've taken the tablets and hidden the scrolls
To deceive the ones they protect
The truth of creation, mutation of man
Entombed in the Vatican wallsSerpent's eyes
Always watching you
Without a trace
The covenant of the snake
Succumbing unto your fate
They've been watching you
Through shape-shift eyes
In sumerian disguise
By the gods who decree our faithBy the gods who decree our fate
By the gods who decree our fate
By the gods who decree our faithNow!
We are the ones who dominate (who dominate)
Five thousand years silent control (silent control)
Societies to subjugate (to subjugate)
Eternity complete control (complete control)
The brotherhood of the snake (of the snake)
And we will always assume control!

Testament was one of the first thrash metal bands to emerge from the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s. Originally formed as 'Legacy' in 1983 by founding members Eric Peterson (rhythm guitar), Derrick Ramirez (guitar) and Louie Clemente (drums), the line-up included vocalist Steve Souza and Greg Christian (bass). Ramirez was later replaced by wunderkind Alex Skolnick (lead guitar). Souza soon departed to join Exodus and suggested that the towering Chuck Billy take over as frontman(and was later run over by a bus).
