Force


A boy with a snake in his hand
Serpent dreams in an evil place
A fetus hidden in the grass
No one to finish this rat race
Dark closes in around the moon
Death makes an eerie sound
His eyes close and the blood drips
As you fall to the ground
Night creeps in through the cracks
Hold your crucifix and lock the door
The Devil's place is in your heart
The sun won't shine here anymore
The crow sits in the cemetery
Souls whisper in silence
Anger seeps into their minds
He walks into defiance
Kill the hand that drove the nail
‘Let he without sin cast the first stone'
Driving rage screams through her veins
Scrape the skin down to the bone
Sleep all day and walk at night
Hunt the one who holds the key
Shield yourself from the snake's bite
String the body in the tree
Maggots crawl behind your smile
Just lay back and try to sleep
Snakes still slither through the grass
Listen to the mournful weep
Drive the metal through my skin
Death's black hand closes around my heart
Smiles turn to evil grins
We only see this as my art
Light the candle
Touch the flame
Need someone to take the blame.
