Serpents - Neck Deep

Don't get too close

That place is haunted

Fear not the ghost

'Cause she sent them running

She sleeps beneath the surface

Consulting with the serpents

She strikes without a purpose

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'd made a great mistake

I gave her my heart she didn't want it

Took it anyway put a dark spell on it

Since then I haven't been the same

Needed a victim

She got it

Took me in with her song powerless to stop it

Some men don't dare to speak her name

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 death and fire and left me burning

I gave her my heart she didn't want it

Took it anyway put a dark spell on it

Since then I haven't been the same

Needed a victim

She got it

Took me in with her song powerless to stop it

Some men don't dare to speak her name

She sleeps beneath the surface

Consulting with the serpents

She strikes without a purpose
