John 3:14-15
Matthew 10:16
How many times can i shed my skin
if there's nothing inside left to be holy
outside the rhyme where i begin
your lies keep messin up the story
in that tree was the old poison
that monorhythm like a dread bulldozer
i'm gonna teach you bout the ways of sin
for the song of life is not yet over
Infinity keeps twisting me
swallow my tail and around we go
Death and rebirth, up from the earth
Ouroboros mojo
Python the oracle way down deep
smokin in the belly of the bedrock
sendin visions from below in a tranced up sleep
dreams of the future now unlocked
and when Tiamat first got shot
her body parts became the world
and when the rainbow snake did the boomerang shake
all of creation was unfurled
Now i know you think on me as evil
as a venomous tempting liar
but i'm that Kundalini energy
pushing your soul to go higher
and what did Moses do when the people were bitten in the quicksand?
he lifted me up for you, one glance and your healing was at hand
Now i've been wrapped around this stick
as long as i can remember
coils and rattles and a quick tongue flick
between earth and the spirit, I am the messenger
The serpent in the garden, the dragon of the dead
if i strike your heel, you gonna crush my head?
but when Jesus was wrapped around his tree
right then he made a reference to me
the secrets are no longer sealed
when you look on this you shall be healed
If medicine is what you want to get
then come and join Damballah's dance
and if you don't believe me yet
just look on the back of your ambulance
my snake oil can lube up your spine
you gotta spend that dime
and get yourself a bottle
joinin Earth and Sky when the serpents fly
the Aztec calendar sign
spiralling prayers to Quetzatlcoatl
I'm your DNA, i go all the way
back to the beginning of Creation
so don't get me wrong, i'm the pulse of the song
the symbol of transformation
