Here Come The Snakes
Dim, the lanterns kill the lights
Let's leave tonight to hide away
To take cold comfort in the dark
And leave our hearts behind to wait
We'll tear away these dreadful skins
That we must shed to start again
The evil things that you can do
Are easy if you think them through
Are easy if you can pretend
So shut your windows, lock your doors
Here come the snakes, you best be sure
To keep your conscience bolted tight
'Cause they'll be lying waiting
Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies
Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night
You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar
'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire
So keep your shadow out of sight
The time is right to hide away
To keep your conscience frozen numb
The time has come don't be afraid
We'll tear away these dreadful skins
That we must shed to start again
The sickest thing they did to you
They did because you let them through
They did because you let them in
So shut your windows, lock your doors
Here come the snakes you best be sure
To keep your conscience bolted tight
'Cause they'll be lying waiting
Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies
Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night
You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar
'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire
I know you've been burning
We both know, there's no light
So dim, the lanterns so we don't see
The darkness of this night
