This song is about the people you pass on a day-to-day basis.
lyrics
This town has taken all my hopes, it's raped all my dreams.
Can I have the attention of the congregation?
We were gathered here to celebrate, a life and times of the people who once held the moral bounds, keeping us alive.
So here I stand, a hungry mouth that has bitten the feeding hand.
The road is long like...
There's no sense in pitying me now, because:
We'll take everything,
we'll change everything,
now bow to your pseudo-majesty,
we'll leave with nothing short of a tragedy.
Whitewashed, eyes lay upon my guilty conscience.
Serpent, tongues running rampant amongst the masses.
Wager, my future upon those around you.
Rewriting sacraments, this religious image has been given brand new life.
What will you do?
When any price says you won't leave here alive,
and that is not a threat. That is not a threat.
It's a fucking promise.
So who's gonna save (me/you) now?
I was the voice of truth... but now it's become so quiet.
I am the Serpent God...
Who will save you now?
