The Serpentine Offering Lyrics

My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despairEvoked and entertained through centuries
Wrathful and sullen dormant stillThe ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last, hear my offering
You bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice, share my sacrificeMy descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despairReconcile not with the fear of the snake
But embrace it as your own
Inject its venom into your veins
And replant the seed that gives growthStill shrouded in mystery
Until you arise above perception
A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout generationsA veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout multiple generations

Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit
And back into perfect accordance with the laws of natureThe snake is notoriously tempting
But the snake is fair
What is worse than not knowing?
To live or disappear?The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last, hear my offering
You bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice, share my sacrifice
