Boondox - They Pray With Snakes lyrics

[Verse 1] In the belly of the beast the place that's miles away In a deep southern town where the devil comes to pray A choir sings with their eyes sewn shut By a stream the children play in water flowin with blood The pastor stands on his pulpit while preachin of Hell On the hilltop church with demons ringing the bell They toll twice for the missing and the recently departed In the pews the congregation sits a 100 days rotted Suffering is all around us, stench of d**h in the air Nobody seems to notice or nobody seems to care Its just an everyday life and a normal routine People walkin' right by but never notice the screams A backwards philosophy pa**ed down through the ages Generation of murder written down in these pages Of a book overlooked and forgotten in history A place where the secret is surrounded by mystery [Chorus] I can hear the screaming in the forest at night They pray with snakes and they poisons my mind I can hear the screaming through the forest at night They pray with snakes and they poisons my mind [Verse 2:] Was it a curse or a sickness that raced in the minds Of these sac-religious hillbillies raised with the swine No remorse in the souls and their heart's pitched black Thirsty for the blood hound murdered contact Feasting on the brain of the ones they call sinners' Cousin Cletus in the kitchen carving torsos for dinner In the barn, on the meat-hooks, bodies are hanging In the cellar by a chain more bodies are swingin' And in the field like a scene from an old parkin lot Abandoned for so many years, cars left to rot And buried in the garden in a hole dug deep All the bones and the belongings all piled in a heap Ungodly sounds of torture echo through the trees The screams of suffering still blowin in the breeze Not on any map, undiscovered, never surveyed Secrets of a small town kept locked away [Chorus repeated 'till end]
