lyrics

Black Snake
(Words & Music Knight/Winter)

Wait, listen, I hear the enemy rising
Black poison, serpent of ugliness inside me
Waiting for my weakest hour
My certainty for to devour
What was ours, what was ours, what was ours

I am poised at the edge of desire
My madness is leaking
And coloring the tips of my hair purple
Spilling out into forever
Telling me that I’ll never know love like ours again

I look for the glimmer
Nectar of my salvation
Quench my thirsting
Drinking without hesitation
Filling me up with rainbows
Reminding me what my brain knows
That I’ll never, I’ll never be thirsty again

Black snake dissolving
And suddenly I taste heaven
My slinky dancing
Waking the goddess eleven
Shake loose all my grieving
Telling me you’re not leaving
Me ever, me ever again.
