Basilisk Lyrics

Album: Basilisk

Serpent King

Born into hateful fortune

Most violent of communion

Beneath the belly of a toad

Little Prince

Burdened with morbid purpose

Blessed with the means to rid us

A duty to cleanse this living tomb

Rid us all

My worshiping

Does barely enough to serve you

Not nearly enough of a tribute

The task that I need you to fulfill

Serpent King

Forgive my brazen sermon

Forgive my needless reason

In appealing to your violent skill

Let’s go Basilisk

Do it now

My patience is wearing thin

Wretched Basilisk

You’re duty bound

The time has come to shed your skin

Grave omnipotence

Choke the life

From the throat of this swollen crowd

Wretched basilisk

Prove it now

How you've come to earn your crown

Little Prince

I give you myself completely

I make you this offer meekly

A statue before I turn to stone

Away

I never asked for this

You’ll reap my rage

A terrible magnificence

So full of hate

I am the serpent king

Immortal

Eternal

Uncaring snake

A terrible magnificence

So full of hate

Let’s go Basilisk

Do it now

My patience is wearing thin

Wretched Basilisk

You’re duty bound

The time has come to shed your skin
