Serpent's Sunday Morning

Intro

Hush now

Hush now baby

Watch it all cave in

Verse 1

Split the sky with a broken jaw

Screaming scripture from a hollow chest

I saw the lamb in the lion's throat

Swallowing fire and calling it rest

Preached forgiveness with a clenched fist

Kissed the serpent on its silver tongue

Every saint I met was a liar with a list

And the choir sang along half-hung

Pre-Chorus

Oh glory

Oh glory

What have we done

What have we done

Chorus

Duality becomes manifest

And the worst is yet to come

He set the world on fire

Just to watch the fucker burn

Verse 2

Saw him stacking bones like telephone poles

Reading futures in the flickering smoke

Asked him why and he just laughed

Said the silence broke the backs of folks

Ignorance is no excuse

But he's got a million alibis

Dressed in Sunday morning bruises

With heaven in his bloodshot eyes

Pre-Chorus

Oh lion

Oh serpent

What have you done

What have you done

Chorus

Duality becomes manifest

And the worst is yet to come

He set the world on fire

Just to watch the fucker burn

Bridge

Conviction is a noose wrapped tight

Rivaling love but losing light

The arc bends slow toward the truth

But we were never good at waiting

No we were never good at waiting

Breakdown

Bend

Bend

Bend towards justice

Or break

Or break

Or break my neck trying

Chorus

Duality becomes manifest

And the worst is yet to come

He set the world on fire

Just to watch the fucker burn

Outro

(Watch it burn)

(Watch it burn)

The ignorance of Yahweh

Is greater than the knowledge of man

(Watch it burn)
