Serpent of the Crossroads

Forever in shadow, serpent slithers on All the signs within your eyes Where were you Tomorrow? Flooding through another Hell The night she held us cold Crossroads whispers Tomorrow Held my knife to the throat of God The sound of chains rattling forward Where we left ourselves behind Those lost years, we were promised Slipped away in the ghost of time When the serpent offered salvation In a world that has held us blind With hellhounds I ride Stripes have caged my back Death has known me well Imprisoned by this mortal flesh This broken desperation, burning on inside my cross. . I can never be free Turn your eyes away, blind the darkness, let it all fade
