The divine serpent

Born in shadow, fed in whispers, python reigns Above the fearful, 'neath the tempest's dreadful veils The serpent's fangs drip with the essence of their fate They bow in reverence, their god to consecrate Born in shadow, through the village it does glide Without a savior, by their primal laws they bide In the nightfall, chants are rising, dark and clear Crimson moonlight casts the glow the python nears Hunger's anthem, cold surrender in their eyes Under starlight, their devotion never dies Fallen whispers, as the sacrifice draws close In the silence, nature's chorus somber grows His coils enfold, her voice entwined, a siren's song In the sacred night where all their fates belong She calls the stars, as he breathes the earth below His wordless creed, the strength that all gods show [Spoken Word Male] Behold the altar where silence meets the scream In reverence they gather, where the sacred rivers teem Dreadful beauty, in the monster they find grace In their fervor, they accept the cold embrace Through the shadows, writhing scales a holy shroud The python's feast ends, silence reigns instead of loud [Chorus - Female Choir] Oh hallowed be thy claim, our fears thy kingdom thrive In thy coils we are bound, through sacrifice alive In the tempest's wake, the serpent's eyes do gleam Bearing wisdom's curse, the villagers they dream Of freedom's light beyond the python's realm Yet in his grip, their fates overwhelm [Spoken Word Male] Behold the sepulcher of dreams, where hope is shorn By sacred oath, their allegiances are sworn
