Shadow of the Snake by Blues Funeral Lyrics
The night is black with untold secrets
But the light on the hill is growing
Dark veils shuffle forth
Beneath the full moon glowing
Mount a cross in shallow earth
Wreathed between trees swaying
A gesture of cosmic deference
But not a moment for praying
Farewell my sanity
Your tears are just a forgery
These winds recall a memory
Of a time addled fallacy (yeah)
Thirty pieces of tainted silver
And a kiss for old time’s sake
Abandon reason in favor of treason
In the shadow of the Snake
A glass of absinthe to clear my head
False visions green and enticing
Devils summon me with Gabriel’s horn
Frozen valley arising
Deprived of all vitality
Your siren call, pure sophistry
A rising tide of malady
Descending on the revelry (yeah)
But the light on the hill is growing
Dark veils shuffle forth
Beneath the full moon glowing
Mount a cross in shallow earth
Wreathed between trees swaying
A gesture of cosmic deference
But not a moment for praying
Farewell my sanity
Your tears are just a forgery
These winds recall a memory
Of a time addled fallacy (yeah)
Thirty pieces of tainted silver
And a kiss for old time’s sake
Abandon reason in favor of treason
In the shadow of the Snake
A glass of absinthe to clear my head
False visions green and enticing
Devils summon me with Gabriel’s horn
Frozen valley arising
Deprived of all vitality
Your siren call, pure sophistry
A rising tide of malady
Descending on the revelry (yeah)
