We'll keep you yearning in darkness With dreams all so petty and small We'll keep you fighting our giants Until you are nothing at all You'll keep on dying in our wars 'Cause blood can turn dust into gold You'll be defending our power Until the earth is all drained, dead and cold Snakes of the earth I know that you are out there hiding Snakes of the earth I know that you have played us all for fools Snakes of the earth I know that you are out there hiding Snakes of the earth Awake the sleepers to a blood red dawn Snakes of the earth Empowered puppets in control The governing stage has been set As history plays out by our rules Generations dismiss and forget 'Cause we have been here for a long time We've mastered deception and fear A kingdom with no flag or borders With daggers and fangs everywhere Snakes of the earth I know that you are out there hiding Snakes of the earth I know that you have played us all for fools Snakes of the earth Your day of reckoning is coming Snakes of the earth Awake the sleepers to a blood red dawn Snakes of the earth So you'll keep on craving the circus Until all your knowledge is lost Disabled by poisonous comforts A slave to the grind at any cost One by one we'll lay siege to all freedoms And finally to liberty's walls You'll shed no tears when they crumble No, you'll be demanding they fall Snakes of the earth Your day of reckoning is coming Snakes of the earth Awake the sleepers to a blood red dawn Snakes of the earth And we will tell our children of your deeds Snakes of the earth Your kind will never slither earth again Snakes of the earth We know that you are out there hiding We know that you have played us all for fools Your day of reckoning is coming Awake the sleepers to a blood red dawn Snakes of the earth
