He'll take you out of this world
And into another or the next
To find a truth that's simple
Where it once seemed so complex

Lay your weary head down
Into the welcoming earth
Let your skin give way
To the glory of your rebirth

Hail to the snake 2x

I wish you'd close your eyes
And reach out for my hands
I lie in coiled peace
I don't think you would understand

I'll cry your name out loud
To blot out the darkness and pain
But I've got this warm dark wave
Of venom crashing through my veins

Hail to the snake 3x

Stay around,
There is more room at the table
Every sound
Draws me further through the veil
Underground
Where the ending world can't touch us
Beyond the lights
Beyond the pale

Out of this world
And into the next or another
Where you can sing his praise
In the presence of your sisters and brothers

It shouldn't end this way
I should ignore his voice in my ears
You shouldn't be afraid
Everyone one here has mastered their fears

Hail to the snake 4x

I will crush the life
From whatever stands in my way
