Said the Snake - Otep

The dead have names like biblical verses

Matthew 19

Mark 21

John 33

Sent to war to fight for…

I don’t think anyone knows anymore

The last breath before death

Before the invisible amputees of PTSD

And then slithering from its den

Came the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

His kiss gave a little pain

As the venom pumps through your veins

This was your mistake

You knew I was a fucking snake

This was your mistake

You knew I was a fucking snake

Put another rifle in their hand

Send them like cattle to a foreign land

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Trust me, he said from his den

Trust me, with a vicious grin

Trust me, simpletons

I alone can save your soul

Just give me complete control

His kiss gave a little pain

As the venom pumps through your veins

This was your mistake

You knew I was a fucking snake

This was your mistake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Trust me, he said from his den

Trust me, with a vicious grin

Trust me, simpletons

I alone can save your soul

Just give me complete control

Let me kiss it I can fix it

Said the snake

Let me kiss it I can fix it

You knew I was a fucking snake
