Chasing the Serpent

An endless circle, wide and deep
What you sow, we will reap
A deeper darkness, veils of sheer deceit
The cycle stuck on repeat

Behind the hammer, out there on the edge
High upon that slippery ledge
Beyond the runes, the phantom of our youth
Follow the trail to the end

You are not blind yet you draw the bow
I guess we're not supposed to know
The truth within my heart and soul
The horn resounds, no control

Chasing, chasing, chasing the serpent
Yet you are riding the wolf
Chasing, chasing, chasing the serpent
Over and over again

Open your eyes and look into the flames
Why are we playing these games?
The broken suffer, how did we come to this?
Is there more to come from the abyss?

Behind the hammer, out there on the edge
High upon that slippery ledge
Beyond the runes, the phantom of our youth
Follow the trail to the end

Chasing, chasing, chasing the serpent
Yet you are riding the wolf
Chasing, chasing, chasing the serpent
Over and over again

Behind the hammer, out there on the edge
High upon that slippery ledge
Beyond the runes, the phantom of our youth
Follow the trail to the end

Chasing, chasing, chasing the serpent
Yet you are riding the wolf (The wolf)
Chasing, chasing, chasing the serpent
Over and over again
