The Child and the Serpent Lyrics


Open to the world and its mysteries

Cannot see yourself in the dreams of others

In pursuit of something greater than what's come before

Their vision as shallow as the ocean is deep

It comes to you like the Serpent came to Eve

"your eyes will be opened and you will be like god"

To expand the horizon, you'll step through any forbidden door

Embrace me, the parasite, and adjust your chemistry

Weakness of will resigns independence to the beast.

Like Legion, the masks you wear will be many

Great strength within, twice the desire

Vacuum of self-doubt; inward deceit

Unrealized potential

The din suffocates

This must end!

Open to the world and its mysteries

can now see yourself;

Detached from parasite

In pursuit of something greater than what you've become

Its vision as shallow as the ocean is deep
