Snakes in human skin

The beating of the pulse is just a memorized rhythm.
The priest is silent while the devil speaks.


Beneath the silk of their faces, poison pulsates,
In their affectionate gestures lies a cold ritual.
Did you think an angel descended into the dark?
But slippery coils pressed against your mind.
Their vows crawl over open scars,
They try on smiles to fit someone else's dead.


Don't trust their tears, it's an unleavened lie,
To wash away your will when you fall asleep.
Drop the mask!

Припев
Snakes in human skin!
Too flawless, to a black shiver.
They drink our fears, spit out venom,
From your ribs, they build their hell.
Snakes in human skin,
Your god will forgive them. I won't. Oh god.


Their blood is ice, their embrace is captivity,
We await redemption, they await betrayal.
They kiss your eyes when you are powerless,
So that by morning you forget what you asked for at night.
Your closest one doesn't blink back,
When the saving light is turned off.


The shedding has begun. The shedding has begun.
Your purity plummeted into the abyss with them.
Crawl on the glass! Curse your own shadow!
Tomorrow their cold day will come!



Припев
Snakes in human skin!
Too flawless, to a black shiver.
They drink our fears, spit out venom,
From your ribs, they build their hell.


Shhh... fall asleep.
The lullaby of fear is sweet.
I see how your skin...
Is becoming... smooth.
