serpent in the church. Lyrics

Couldn't be baptized with the common folk

They said I'd need a gasoline-bath, light, and a lot of smoke

My second-death while alive is a rotten joke

I just pray this half-life hits a stop and slows

I can milk it; steal a few more

Year-longs ‘til I hit another ceilin’

Re-up the feelin’ from the flame, but it's lukewarm

And the tape-worms in my skin are unappealin’

Every sin I've done is buildin’

Into a monstrosity within me

Resisting any pity. I just want to slither through the holy land

Never hold a hand. Oly Oly Oxen Free

Switching sides. The pact’s price was a sacrifice

And Jehovah’s stance is: my worth keeps bottoming

Giving tithes is me when I’m popped and bleed to death

Head-shot. I need some rest

Take my body now. It don’t belong to me

Forget about my Wake and let me fall asleep

The angels in my choir, they can hardly sing, or breathe

Claw marks across the throat; third-degree burns

Chop in half the body of the serpent in the church

I heard that Satan’s a whore

I don't know why I'm so laced with allure

She’ll suck you dry in the name of the Lord

Our relations are more the sensation of war

I’m a reptile from her X-Files

She did me so vile. That's her sex-style

A million ways to die; I chose

This grimy, psycho bitch. I’m left stifled

She told me to take my time

And maybe I'll see she's decent

In ways, it just feeds my descent

Being chained to her needs and grievances

I’m faithless and see deceit is

The only communication I’ll be receivin’

My scales are no longer a safe harbor

Don't trust a snake-charmer

Take my body now. It don’t belong to me

Forget about my Wake and let me fall asleep

The angels in my choir, they can hardly sing, or breathe

Claw marks across the throat; third-degree burns

Chop in half the body of the serpent in the church
