Letra de God's Old Snake
Hangman to all mankind Make your peace For mother earth lays on her deathbed Death's rattle echoesWhat pale beast Lurks in the shadow Great lover revelling in pox That feeds on filthGod's old snake We ask for a sign A revelation A vision of hell Or blood from stoneWe have been to the ends of the earth Slouched towards Bethlehem With daggers drawn"Deep-mouthed from their thrones deep-seated The choirs of the æeons declare The last of the demons defeated For Man is the Lord of the Air Arise, O Man, in thy strength! The kingdom is thine to inherit Till the high gods witness at length That Man is the Lord of his spirit"So take your bitter pill and wait until dawn The pound of flesh In the tithe of princes Wine of salvationWe are searching The golden redeemer Who wrote the word of the devil In the veins of manIf there is a watcher under the earth Wake him from his fateless sleep His fateless sleep Father of archeain life You know your soul's on fire Please release me, please release meAnd I have stood at the top of the world And shook the four winds and called your name And walked dusty paths on holy hills Gazed upon black effigies and pressed holy flesh
