lyrics

How dare we dream
In such vivid images
When all we've made is broken
All that we've built is but a facade
The ground that we walk shall wash away

Desperate prayers to callous gods
Whispered under our breath and carried away
Held by stones that care not enough to return them in echo
Weeping sinners every one of us,
We throw ourselves at the feet of idols carved by our own hands
Blessed by another manufactured the same

Now
With nightmare consequences reappearing
The path we've chosen for ourselves can only
End in torment
I laugh
I suffocate
Forsake the noose for a life in chains
Cast out
And disconsolate
Know you now, friend, why the caged bird dies?

about

Heart of the Serpent

Heart of the Serpent (black metal, USA) blends second wave black metal (Gorgoroth, Burzum) with thrash and DSBM (Xasthur, None) to create a sound that retains its “traditional” black metal roots without becoming stale.
