No aspects are of your own

Despite your proud denial

Cold black constrictions construct the formula

Illusions of choice nourish the power

This is an ill contrived dream

And nothing's as it seems

A desperate hold on perceived truths

Won't be your saving grace

In all forms reptilian

You'll live & die through all forms reptilian

Fragments of truth promote conceit

Arranged & applied to dogmas formed since birth

Revolutions molded but with the serpents' path to keep

Your faith has come to naught

Even your afterlife they've wrought

These vicious circles will never break

With a belief infected will

In all forms reptilian

You'll live & die through all forms reptilian

From all angles their shadows swarm

To rise & fall with humanity's collective breath

Mimicking & mocking

The slithering beast devours itself

Renew the captive cycle

This is an ill contrived dream

And nothing's as it seems

A gaping wound of conflicting views

Your poisoned existence

In all forms reptilian

You'll live & die through all form reptilian
