Snakes
[Verse 1]
Meet me by the coppice stool
Before the night takes back its jewels
Bring your life of memories
Before they sink into the seas

[Chorus]
Snakes
Are coming to your town
In tunnels underground
Some traveling overground
A plague for our mistakes
They'll be right next to you
Snakes up against me too
There'll be nothing to do
When the rattle shakes

[Verse 2]
One more blast and then we're dry
Say some words, I'll write them down
Seal the couplets deep inside

[Chorus]
Snakes
Are coming to your town
In tunnels underground
Some traveling overground
A plague for our mistakes
They'll be right next to you
Snakes up against me too
There'll be nothing to do
When the rattle shakes
