Jeremy McKinnon - Serpents lyrics

[Intro] Don't get too close That place is haunted Fear not the ghosts Cause she sent them running [Bridge] She sleeps beneath the surface Consorting with the serpents She strikes without a purpose [Verse 1] A dark face in a corridor Deceptively beautiful She's watching you She's in everything you do Her kiss it tastes so sweet But left me with a lethargy I couldn't shake, I made a grave mistake [Chorus] I gave her my heart, she didn't want it Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it Since then I haven't been the same Needed a victim and she got it Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it Some men don't dare to speak her name [Verse 2] She picked me up from my decline Healed my wounds with love and wine Dosed me up and closed my eyes A taste of poison She gave me all that I desired Sung the songs of angel choirs Preached the words of d**h and fire and left me burning [Chorus] I gave her my heart, she didn't want it Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it Since then I haven't been the same Needed a victim and she got it Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it Some men don't dare to speak her name [Bridge] She sleeps beneath the surface Consorting with the serpents She strikes without a purpose
