The Bird and the Snake

The morning is coming with a hunger to feed I'll do what I've got to get the taste that I need Minute by minute and hour by hour I'll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour Give me a feather and I'll trade you my friend It's just a single feather dear It won't be the end Watch and you'll learn young one I'm not what you think I'll give you all you'd ever want To eat and to drink Too far to run Too hard to fly away There's got to be a better way Too far to run Too hard to fly away A feather's small to give away One was the deal before but now I want three So if you want to get your fix You'll have to agree Don't you fret now don't you fear You've still got much to give I'll keep my word if you keep yours You still need me to live Too slow to run Too weak to fly away I'm tired living day to day Too slow to run Too weak to fly away How much will I have to pay? Fool don't you see, you haven't a choice No one will listen, hear out your voice You're lost and accursed Lost and accursed You're dying of thirst Stop with your fighting, I'm all you've got None hear your crying You're hooked and caught Was three, now it's six Come get your fix Too scared to run Too nerved to fly away I once was friend but now the prey Too scared to run Too nerved to fly away Will he save or will he slay? Submit yourselves, then, to God Resist the devil, and he will flee from you Draw near to God and He will draw near to you Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts It's the last time that you'll get me It's the last time that you'll get me Me It's your last one so now I'm free It's your last one so now I'm free Free He was a murderer from the beginning He does not stay to the truth cause there is no truth in him Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature For he is a liar, the father of lies No! All you've brought me is pain and grief All you've brought me is pain and grief Grief No! You deceptive and lying thief You deceptive and lying thief Thief No! No! No! No! "Thank you my friend and now I'll say my goodbye As these fangs sink in You'll sleep and I'll watch as you die." --- The Bird and the Snake - Wolves at the Gate
