lyrics

As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake

As the snake eats the snake
Eat these foods from these hands
So we make no mistakes
In breath my brethren
We keep each other awake
As it quakes
Wipe the tears falling down the cheeks of her face
No more weeping we’ve wept
Through promising and promises unkept
Look at where to where the flocks been led
Forgiving ain’t forgetting
I remember the face
We became the opposite sum of
What we claimed to have become in this place
Naked ape spinning in space
Stripping all the vines of grapes
An arid taste
Look at what they got from what they crush
Only thing I hate is hate
I hate it so much


As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake




Wasn’t it us that played
Now it’s us that slays
Ignorance weighs them weary
Wearing away
Now scared to pray
Prays scared them away
But them prays never wasted
Hard when your taste buds blemished
And your answers never tasted
That beautiful taste
Don’t let her waste
No need to follow them ways in case

As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake
As the snake eats the snake
Eats the snake eats the snake



In this madness there is no clarity
They eat their children and grind them bones
Then bake them cakes out of their own.
