lyrics

The joke were on us
And the lies and distrust
Betrayal and disgust
the joke were on us
We sing his praise, and curse in silence
kiss his lips with swollen tongues

I appeal to your wisdom
Unfathomable trust
At the hand of your mercy
I corrode and corrupt
The earth is but a wasteland
in the wake of the serpent
its armies devouring
the fat of the land

in the shadow of the mountains,
the crushing waves of the sea,
beneath a burning sun of malice,
the ouroboros is revealed
fingers clasping through water
to reach the surface for air
hope ground slowly to dust
between hearts made of stone

crippled, maimed and utterly broken
we face the unknown severely at a loss

its courtyard make a beautiful garden
in its midst the fountain of truth
As we bend our knees to quench our thirst
Our gaze is fixed to a mirage of gloom

Who will be the fool in the mouth of the serpent’s court?
Who shall persuade him to go up
and fall at the hands of his own seed?

Who will make failure the path of the righteous?
And the voice of treason his bitter comfort?
Who will wield the scepter of malice and divine wrath
wrought from the womb of his own mother?

In the court of the serpent, we all play the jester
In the court of the usurper, we’re all kings
And in our presence all mourn and anger halter,

To give way to the sound of the jokes of a fool
The joke were on us
And the lies and distrust
Betrayal and disgust
the joke were on us
