We Became Snakes - Saccharine Trust

one night

in the garden

behind a burning bush

we hid from God

we became snakes

slimy wicked

sliding upon one another

hissing the secrets

of virtue and worship

joyful earthly godliness

we became snakes

smooth subtle

poisoned with knowledge

of good and evil

we became snakes

keen swift

cursed with perceptions

of upright conversions

we became precious

we became precious

we became precious

we became precious

predatory

predatory

in Hell this is not allowed

in Heaven this is not desired

so let’s ooww yeah right now

let’s oww yeah right now

let’s h-i-s-s-s-s

you’re looking up and I’m below you

and I will crawl around you

until I find an opening

wanting, wishing, longing, needing, hoping,

wanting, wishing, longing

to be precious
