The serpent crawled the way up from his underground hole

Bitter, unfulfilled, quite nasty and old

Wants everyone to drink his toast, the poisonous chalice

And we listen like hypnotized to the snake and his talk

You rise from the ashes to the beauty of grace and delight

I know deep inside it's done with mirrors and smoke

You fill my apartment with magic and treason, beware

I see your lizard eyes in every man, we must all take care

And the serpent said: Richness

I'll give it now to you

Just keep on what you're doing

To the devil his due

I'm everywhere, the great lord

I see every sin

No matter how you hide behind your doors

I will always sneak in

In every single corner of the world, yes there you are

You're spreading your feathers like a god, a true superstar

You fill my apartment with magic and treason, beware

I see your lizard eyes in every man, we must all take care

Bitter and fucked up and blue

You know the serpent is you

Spreading the poison you can

Venom's black in every man

Snake of christ, you do us wrong

Oh serpent with a deadly tongue

Bitter and fucked up and blue

You know the serpent is you
