Not The Skull

Chasing a truth
Down a trail of deceit
Are these just wounds
Or marks of the beast

Eyes so scarred
From staring at the Sun
Can’t see a thing
But I know where to run

The serpent is me
But I'm not the skull

Floating my love
On a river of greed
Take what you want
Take it from me

See through eyes
Of prophets so blind
Witness the rush
Of brothers unkind

The serpent is me
But I'm not the skull

Hiding in the meadows
Creep across the land
Serpent like a brother
Reach like hidden hand

Hiding in the meadows
Creep across the land
Slipping through your fingers
Like the finest sand

The holier the road
The more you’ll never know
Shallow is the hole
Dig a little deeper

The faster that we go
The more the cancer grows
Hearts will melt like snow
Waiting for the water
