The Serpentine Offering

My descent is the story of everyman
 I am hatred, darkness and despair
 My descent is the story of everyman
 I am hatred, darkness and despair
 Oh
 ♪
 Evoked and entertained through centuries
 Wrathful and sullen, dormant still
 ♪
 The ferocity pervades everywhere
 Waiting to be released at last
 Hear my offering
 Ye bastards, sons and daughters
 Share my sacrifice
 Share my sacrifice

 My descent is the story of everyman
 I am hatred, darkness and despair
 My descent is the story of everyman
 I am hatred, darkness and despair
 Reconcile not with the fear of the snake
 But embrace it as your own
 Inject its venom into your veins
 And replant the seed that gives growth
 Still shrouded in mystery
 Until you arise above perception
 A veil of ignorance is in motion
 Continuing throughout generations
 (A veil of ignorance is in motion)
 (Continuing throughout multiple generations)
 (Let me be the one that delivers you from the deceit)
 (And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature)
 The snake is notoriously tempting
 But the snake is fair
 What is worse than not knowing?
 To live or disappear?
