Lyrics
The first serpent brings ruin
Shattering visions in its path
The second whispers death and violence
Vengeance, ancient wrath
Arrogance, ignorance and dying faith
As the third one rises, Hybris is his name
Snakes in human form, snakes in human form
Where seven serpents crawl
The fourth one reaps decay, disintegration is its claim
The fifth serpent named Prejudice, chains hearts and minds astray
The sixth one's name is Sin, the seventh offers hate
As final liberation, under darkened skies so grey
Snakes in human form, snakes in human form
Where seven serpents crawl (crawl)
Seven serpents crawl (crawl)
Where seven serpents crawl (crawl)
Seven serpents crawl (crawl)
In heaven and beyond, their hisses can be heard
Now hear the demons sing
Where seven serpents crawl
See them shed their skin among the burning corpses
Vultures circle up above, apocalyptic horses
Beneath our feet, they're crawling forth to take away
What freedom remains
What freedom remains
Amor fati
Amor fati
Amor fati
Amor fati
Where seven serpents crawl (crawl, amor fati)
Seven serpents crawl (crawl, amor fati)
Where seven serpents crawl (crawl, amor fati)
Seven serpents crawl (crawl, amor fati)
In heaven and beyond, their hisses can be heard
Now feel them shed your skin
And all the demons sing
Where seven serpents crawl!
