Green Serpent

The grapes are falling down

The grapes are falling down

The grapes are falling down

Please add some sober water

Into heady wine

Don't turn into a raging storm

This peaceful night

This peaceful night

Here it comes, the green serpent

It puts you on the path

How deep is the mud

In this tempting vineyard?

The grapes are falling down

And you pick them one by one

The drunk stepped into the adult life

Lukewarm wine is his blood

It's not him who drinks from the bottle

It's the bottle that drinks from him

It's starting here

You don't drink it, you absorb it

Eventually you're swallowed by the mud

Here it comes, the green serpent

It puts you on the path, so unsure

The serpent gives an umbrella on a sunny day

And takes it back when it rains

It holds so much annihilating power

So it's turning

Saints into sinners in just one hour

It's starting here

You don't drink it, you absorb it

Eventually you're swallowed by the mud

Here it comes, the green serpent

It puts you on the path, so unsure

A foe and a friend

Locks you in pirouette

Shame hurts more then headache

Let the green serpent slither away

Let the green serpent slither away

Ooh, ooh

The grapes are falling down

The grapes are falling down
