Serpent’s Egg

Leon of Athens

Xenos, 2018, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

In desperation
The egg of the snake is beginning to break
Something’s wrong
It seems like I lie
But I don’t have much time left at all
In isolation
The windows are closed
And the screen flashing light on the wall
I used to be kind
But I grew up too fast now I’m not
In the school they were teaching us war
How to win, how to swallow them all
I said one day I’ll break out
From the fog that surrounds me
I’ll save my soul
One day I’ll break out from the fog that’s surrounding us all
Across the nation
The egg of the snake is beginning to break
All alone
I used to be kind
But I grew up too fast
Now I’m not
In isolation
They’re marching in rank got the fierce spreading fast
Like a ghost
We don’t have much time here
The snakes for our crimes are at close
In the school they were teaching us war
How to win
How to swallow them all
I said one day I’ll break out
From the fog that surrounds me
I’ll save my soul
One I’ll break out from the fog that’s surrounding us all
At school they were teaching us war
How to win
How to swallow them all
I said one day I’ll break out
From the fog that surrounds me
I’ll save my soul
One I’ll break out from the fog that’s surrounding us all
