The Snake and the Saint

Gonna ask you to guard this here tree for me Gonna ask you to carry all of mankind's sin and iniquities She's gonna smell of sin for eternity And bleed She'll bleed Are you ready to slither on the grass Cause' you'll always be attacked With the weight of the world on your back You'll shed your skin but you'll never be new again Hallelujah Hallelujah This split tongue can barely scream your praise so glory hallelujah This split tongue can barely speak your name so glory hallelujah This split tongue can barely scream your praise so This split tongue, this split tongue Hold you up and dance beneath the stars Make them immortal and adorn them with each scar I'll ask a great man to part the sea Could you prove that his word's coming from me Tell me am I the Saint or The Snake Am I the canvas or the paint Am I the crown so closely intertwined With the immortal or with the divine Hallelujah
