Serpent’s Eye (lyrics by Josh Luckenbach)
It’s not about one time when it all fell apart
It’s about a system fucked from the start
It’s not about one day when it came to an end
It’s about the system on which we depend
The leeches come to suck the dry
The spider’s legs; the serpent’s eye
The ground is blessed where the eagle lies
The dove is here but leeches suck this dry
Cruel damnation
Inspiration
In frustration
of this situation
Twist and turn this now
to see through new eyes
and bend and break this
and step to the side
The leech is gonna get it
and suck it all away
The serpent’s gonna be there
to poison the day
Suck it all away…
