God's Old Snake Lyrics - Primordial

Hangman to all mankind 

Make your peace 

For mother earth lays on her deathbed 

Death's rattle echoes 

What pale beast 

Lurks in the shadow 

Great lover revelling in pox 

That feeds on filth 

God's old snake 

We ask for a sign 

A revelation 

A vision of hell 

or blood from stone 

We have been to the ends of the earth 

Slouched towards Bethlehem 

With daggers drawn 

So take your bitter pill and wait until dawn 

The pound of flesh 

Tithe of princes 

Wine of salvation 

We are searching 

The golden redeemer 

Who wrote the word of the devil 

In the veins of man 

If there is a watcher under the earth 

Wake him from his fateless sleep 

Through the glorious voids of heaving earth 

Souls of fire, release me 

I have stood at the top of the world 

Shook the four winds and called your name 

Walked dusty paths on holy hills 

Gazed upon black effigies and pressed holy flesh
