lyrics

Ride the serpent, master your fate.
A thousand hungry Princes of Hell abide in my soul, drowning in the lake of the Serpent and the Master. The serpent is your master. The serpent is your master.
Breach the surface! Rise serpent, rise!

Ride the serpent, seal your fate.
Forgive no one, fornicate with everyone. Leave nothing undone. Torch the damned and send them to their leaders. I dare you, sup with me, dine on the savory flesh of vengeance, drink the blood of refracted life from some vile and wicked bottles. Line them up. Watch them tumble.

Ride the serpent, you cannot wait.
The night is near when the believers without sight will become blinder still, let them wander, let them scream and cry to their god - a mute and feeble myth. Soon the crimson sky will pour down angel fire and dragon’s heat to match the hot winds of Tartarus, let the world of the wicked burn, the weak and the drones shall show their many many faults, which will herald their undoing, then the strong shall be set free, the light of free thought shall conquer their deformed doctrine of lies

Ride the serpent, watch the world burn.
Surround yourself with roses of black bearing thorns of villainy. Your serpent will be your chariot, your ride breathlessly through the ether of a doomed world, with a grin laid bare for all to see. Let dark purpose and vile intent frame your resolve. Wear wickedness as a cape and tread the earthen graves of the unhallowed as a madman dancing and singing songs of damnation, trilling to the dead with bent ears.

Ride the serpent, set yourself free.Drown them all in the lake of the serpent and the master.

Brian's writing evokes drunken Greek gods and multidimensional fever dreams. Dinenthal’s evocative music sends those words into the aether. Guitarist Ben Hampel and technical drummer Simon Skrlec are nuclear-powered ... more
