The Serpent and the Shadow Lyrics


On the crest of the night

Alone in the silence around me

Where the ravens that roam through the eyes of the storm

Circle above their prey

The beggars that mourn are

Sleeping through breaking of day

Caress every thought with the peace that you bought

Praying in silent scorn

Blood for blood

Soul for soul

The scream of death the pyre burning bright

The serpent and the shadow of the black light

The demons that crawl

The fury of nightmares unknown

From their severed tongues come the words of their songs

Poison the gods of old
