Serpent who I am
I look deep into you
With a poisonous glance
Grandmother said
Scorpions, they dance
In ritual of last chance
Emptiness is all that's left
Destroy the beauty
Rip it out your chest
Reveal your black heart
A dying man's final test
To meet his maker
Where he be
I'll make my favor
The sacrifice of me
Vanity will break the glass
Separating who we are
Leaving blemishes and scars
Toothless grin is all that's left
In your myth we live defamed
But we all leave the same
Destroy the beauty
Rip it out your chest
Reveal your black heart
A dying man's final test
To meet his maker
Where he be
I'll make my favor
The sacrifice of me
Hey, I've been here before
The dark has opened doors
I can no longer ignore
Emptiness is all that's left
In the ritual of last chance
Destroy the beauty
Rip it out your chest
Reveal your black heart
A dying man's final test
To meet his maker
Where he be
I'll make my favor
The sacrifice of me
