lyrics

Take my hand, 
Come with me.

Emerging from my true beings cave,
To show you I’m not the same.
For it decides who passes on through,
Just don’t look down or it will sense the fear in you.

Serpentine!
You must not lose the gaze of the serpent’s eyes!
Serpentine!
Where they align lights our way,
Past the serpent’s eyes!

Before we arrive I must confess to you,
I’ve never brought someone else on through this far.
It may offer you a sacred trade.
Just kiss their lips, don’t be afraid!

Here it comes.
Don’t be afraid.
Watch it approach.
Don’t lose your gaze.

We stand before you O great one.
We want to see what lies beyond the veil.

I will let you pass.
But first let me show you…yourself.

Serpentine!
You did not lose the gaze of the serpent’s eyes!
Serpentine!
Where they align lights our way,
Past the serpent’s eyes!

I’m staring right back at you.
I’m staring right back at you.
