The Bird And The Snake
by Wolves At The Gate

Album: VxV


James 4:7-8

The morning is coming with a hunger to feed.
I'll do what I've got to get the taste that I need.
Minute by minute and hour by hour.
I'll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour.

Give me a feather and I'll trade you my friend.
It's just a single feather dear,
It won't be the end.
Watch and you'll learn young one,
I'm not what you think.
I'll give you all you'd ever want
To eat and to drink.

It's too far to run,
It's too hard to fly.
There's got to be a better way.
It's too far to run,
It's too hard to fly.
A feather's small to give away.

One was the deal before but now I want three.
So if you want to get your fix
You'll have to agree.
Don't you fret now don't you fear,
You've still got much to give.
I'll keep my word if you keep yours.
You still need me to live.

I'm too slow to run.
I'm too weak to fly.
I'm tired living day to day.
I'm too slow to run.
I'm too weak to fly.
How much will I have to pay?

Fool don't you see, you haven't a choice.
No one will listen, hear out your voice.
You're lost and accursed.
You're dying of thirst.
Stop with your fighting, I'm all you've got.
None hear your crying,
You're hooked and caught.
Was three, now it's six.
Come get your fix.

I'm too scared to run,
I'm too nerved to fly.
I once was friend but now the prey.
I'm too scared to run,
I'm too nerved to fly.
Will he save or will he slay?

It's the last time that you'll get me.
It's your last one so now I'm free.
No! All you've brought me is pain and grief.
No! You deceptive and lying thief.

Thank you my friend and now I'll say my goodbye.
As these fangs sink in,
You'll fall asleep and I'll watch as you die.
