Mother Of Serpents Lyrics

Mother Of Serpents lyrics

Oh do not wish for a thing

'Lest the gods punish you with it all

The
things you´re looking for you'll never find

In this life

For all
the auguries vague

Oracles drunk with a sulphur spring

Still sought
the three-faced Hecate

Cursing holes

On moonless nights

For
what is more

Forever or never more

Never or forevermore

Seek
not the glories of the world

The fleeting beauty of things soon gone

The flowers of the meadow that spiders suck

Black as disease

Don´t look for coins in the ground

Don´t turn the roadside
carcasses

And don´t you loaf too long on a crossroads

On moonless
nights

This for good kings of Argos

This for their gold and
silk

Opium, honey and milk

Up on the navel of the world

Beneath the Mother of Serpents

The fear of life

Burn our future
sibylline

In the fires of a Roman dream

Where do we go

Mother
of serpents

I don´t want to know

The night and Erebus
proclaimed

And threefold Hecate of hundred names

Who minds or who
revenges injured love

On moonless nights

Oh don´t eat the yellow
snow

And don´t you never give all thy heart

Don´t believe the
voices of the dead

On moonless nights

This for a coin from the
ground

This for what´s already mine

- Never ever look behind

Our mother of the Serpents
