Save Your Serpent...---... - Ego Likeness

Out of the egg of the mother

Stagnated spaces and your cold-blooded brother

Into the mud until the summertime comes

Into the mud and back to your blood

(Save your serpent)

Your talismans can’t help you now

So cast them to the stony ground

We can’t evolve much farther if we let them weigh us down

We worship the rivers and the seas

We worship the stone

The only gospel that we know is encoded in our bones

We are of reptiles

We are of stardust

We are of mercury

And these things are our kin

We are of dignity

We are of mercy

We are of cruelty

And this is not our sin

Build no temple

Just remember

What you came from, who you are

And you’re owed nothing

Just feel lucky

To leave a trace of who you are

(Save your serpent)

Build no temple

Just remember

What you came from, who you are

And you’re owed nothing

Just feel lucky

To leave a trace of who you are

Build no temple

Just remember

What you came from, who you are

And you’re owed nothing

Just feel something

And leave a trace of who you are
