Description
Written in 1993 & found on a old vodka soaked cassette recently. Posted once with me on vocals, but now with proper vocals by Amanda Chapman. The lyrics are about a very troubling period in an old friend's childhood... I think you'll figure it out. Credit goes to Amy, where ever she is now.

Lyrics
Surrounded by the faithful
you wear a holy veil
sanctify your actions as you pound another nail
your ignorance disgusts me
more than a wicked game
you slither through unwary hearts
and they'll never never be the same
caging up your victims
while they slip into your lap
helpless
they fall into your dirty rat trap
where's the sense of reason?
they let you pass on through
they won't listen
but what about you
you're a snake in paradise
you're not the only one
when you shed your skin
the blind acceptance will be done
you're facing your own judgement
it's not for me to do
but if you pray for heaven above
then pray for mercy too
somehow you feed the masses
and they believe that it's ok
but there's no forgiveness here
and you can rot
till someone gives it away
reckoning for demons
drag your belly on the ground
you'll hear the swells of anger
as your power hold breaks down down down
manipulation
was the key to pick your prey
poison all you touch
through the venom in your veins
you'll never know the damage
and the rage
and all the pain
from your narcissistic
self important
sick
diseased ways
you're a snake in paradise
you strike and then you're gone
leave the wound to fester
then infection goes on and on
there's no apology
to change the road you paved
if you don't own
this crime on earth
you'll pay beyond the grave
a prayer for the devoted
you pray to see it through
open up your eyes
and question
all you choose to give your soul to
there's a serpent
disguised when he feeds
a wolf in sheep's (to rip us?)
and he tends to
tends to selfish needs
they'll sacrifice you
the higher ups too
they won't listen
so i'm talking to you!
you're a snake in paradise
you're not the only one
when you shed your skin
the blind acceptance will be done
they'll sacrifice you
the higher ups too
they won't listen
so i'm talking to you!
there's a snake in paradise
he's not the only one
let him shed his skin
and may the carnage be done
they'll sacrifice you
the higher ups too
they won't listen
so i'm talking to you!
you wear a holy veil
sanctify your actions as you pound another nail
your ignorance disgusts me
more than a wicked game
you slither through unwary hearts
and they'll never never be the same
caging up your victims
while they slip into your lap
helpless
they fall into your dirty rat trap
where's the sense of reason?
they let you pass on through
they won't listen
but what about you
you're a snake in paradise
you're not the only one
when you shed your skin
the blind acceptance will be done
you're facing your own judgement
it's not for me to do
but if you pray for heaven above
then pray for mercy too
somehow you feed the masses
and they believe that it's ok
but there's no forgiveness here
and you can rot
