Taking up Serpents - Byzantine

No religion persuades me but the religion inside of me;

I’m alive

Tower of Babel fell for a reason — the tongues that you speak is laid of flies

You’re not anointed to take up the serpent;

You’ve backslid on all of your faith

This line to heaven shall not fit you in — no room for such a disgrace

You deserve fire

Fire — set alight

Burns the mark in my soul brilliantly

Rise following signs

I am catatonic — the spirit’s inside

Glory be…

(Post-Chorus)

I burn all the bridges I see

We pull in sunder instantly

Embody the laws of all hate

A latticework of psuedo-faith, why wait?

Subjugate

Forcing the gospel outside it’s own gate

This is and intimate portrait of faith, of believers who fear the same fate

Lead me from hell with salvation cocktails;

I deny any treatment you praise

Fiction looks best when it’s dipped in deceit

Of your brush arbor meetings a virulent sweep in disguise

(Solo: Tony)

(Post-Chorus)
