Pray With Snakes Lyrics - The Harvest - Boondox

[Verse 1] 

In the belly of the beast a place that's miles away 

In a deep southern town where the devil comes to pray 

A choir sings with their eyes sown shut 

By the stream children playing water flowin with blood 

The pastor stands on his pulpit while preachin to hell 

On the hilltop church with demons ringing the bell 

They tolled twice for the missing and the recently departed 

In the pews the congregation sits a 100 days rotted 

Suffering is all around us, stench of death in the air 

Nobody seems to notice or nobody seems to care 

Its just an everyday life an a normal routine 

People walkin' right by but never notice the screams 

A backwoods philosophy passed down through the ages 

Generation of murder written down in these pages 

Of a book overlooked and forgotten in history 

A place where the secret is surrounded by mystery 

[Chorus] 

I can hear them screaming through the forest at night 

They pray with snakes and they poisons my mind 

I can hear them screaming through the forest at night 

They pray with snakes and they poisons my mind 

[Verse 2:] 

Was it a curse or a sickness that is raised in the minds 

Of these sac-religious hillbillies raised with the swine 

No remorse in their souls and their heart is pitch black 

Thirsty for the blood hound murdered contact 

Feasting on the brain of the ones they call sinners' 

Cousin Cletus in the kitchen carvin torsos for dinner 

In the barn, on the meathooks, bodies are hanging 

In the cellar by a chain more bodies are swingin' 

And in the field lies a scene from an old parkin lot 

Abandoned for so many years cars left to rot 

And buried in the garden in a hole dug deep 

All the bones and the belongings all piled in a heap 

Ungodly sounds of torture echo through the trees 

The screams suffering still blowing in the breeze 

Not on any map undiscovered never surveyed 

Secrets of a small town kept locked away 

[Chorus repeated 'till end]
