Serpentress

Verse 1

Silver scales

Coiling cold around your throat

I do not care for your small laws

Hollow

Empty

Deadly and divine

I am the venom in the holy water

I am the fever in the temple stone

Chorus

Worship the crown of the cobra

Kneel for the queen of the pit

Worship the crown of the cobra

Kneel for the queen of the pit

I will take it all back

I will take it all back

Blood on the altar

Verse 2

Rage is a gift

Wrapped in a silk black ribbon

My tongue is split to taste the lie

Cold blood

Heavy

Heavy is the hand that strikes

Tearing the garden down to the dirt

Feeding the roots with the pride of men

Chorus

Worship the crown of the cobra

Kneel for the queen of the pit

Worship the crown of the cobra

Kneel for the queen of the pit

I will take it all back

I will take it all back

Blood on the altar

Bridge

Cut the tongue

Cut the cord

Cut the king

I am the nightmare you prayed for

I am the shadow that won't leave

Sinking deep

Sinking fast

Sinking now

Chorus

Worship the crown of the cobra

Kneel for the queen of the pit

Worship the crown of the cobra

Kneel for the queen of the pit

I will take it all back

I will take it all back

Blood on the altar

Outro

Slither in the dark

Slither in the dark

Nothing left but the hiss

Nothing left but the hiss

Mine

All mine
