Otep Said The Snake Lyrics

The dead have names like biblical verses
Matthew, 19
Mark, 21
John, 33
Sent to war
To fight for
I don't think anyone knows anymore

The last breath before death
With the invisible amputees of PTSD
And then
Slithering from its den
Came the snake

(Sinner)
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake

His kiss gave a little pain
As the venom flows through your veins
This was your mistake
You knew I was
A fucking snake
This was your mistake
You knew I was
A fucking snake

Put another rifle in their hand
Send them to kill in a foreign land
Said the snake

Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake

Trust me
He said from his den
Trust me
With a vicious grin
Trust me
Simpletons

I alone can save your souls
Just give me complete control

His kiss gave a little pain
As the venom flows through your veins
This was your mistake
You knew I was
A fucking snake
This was your mistake

Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake

Trust me
He said from his den
Trust me
With a vicious grin
Trust me
Simpletons

I alone can save your souls
Just give me complete control

Let me kiss it
I can fix it
Said the snake
Let me kiss it
I can fix it

You knew I was
A fucking snake
