The Burning - Snakes Of Life

I have denied myself what you can't live without
You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
The whistling songs of whips, didn't make me doubt
You wanna know why it didn't?
You wanna know why it didn't?

I fought the snake…

The serpent's tongue
The truth cut with a thousand knives
The serpent's tongue
The true reason for our venomous lives

And every time I've failed I have made amends
You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
I never climbed the stairs, at your expense
You wanna know why I didn't? You wanna know why I didn't?

I fought the snake…

The serpent's tongue
The truth cut with a thousand knives
The serpent's tongue
The true reason for our venomous lives

You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
You wanna know how I did it?
I looked the snake right in the eyes and then I turned…

I turned away…

I turned I turned
I turned I turned
