lyrics

Each serpent has to shed its skin
Or else, the reptile risks to choke
And all corruption held within,
one fleeting moment, shows

Hatred
May darkness enclose you
Envy
May old age erode you
May your mem’ry be covered by cobweb and dust
May your memory wither and rust

Farewell to thee, unfaithful soul
Farewell to thee, begone!
Your words are like a desert wind
You’re howling at the void alone

Hatred
May darkness enclose you
Envy
May old age erode you
May your mem’ry be covered by cobweb and dust
May your memory wither and rust

Helpless victim of your own lies
Jump right into the lion’s mouth
Cast your gauntlet and you will see
How I land upon my feet

Hatred
May darkness enclose you
Envy
May old age erode you
May your mem’ry be covered by cobweb and dust
May your memory wither and rust

“Acclinis falsis animus meliora recusat”
