The Serpent Of Evil River

Lyrics

Verse 1: I feel him breathing, I know he watching me Waiting for me to pass go, this his Monopoly, probably Drag me into the abyss, if I let him My Granny told me don't fret him The preacher told me don't sweat him The world told me forget him, he's just a myth Plus how you gonna battle the dark side? You ain't a sith But I know he real, he rather have my soul in his clutches He drains the life-force from anything he touches Legend goes he approaches and asks, 'how much is your existence worth? Would you give me your soul in exchange for the earth?' Then most give in, he comes in the form of vanities Beautiful things you love steal your sanity Right from under you but I can see through his disguise Just the thing he despise, scared to look into my eyes 'cause I know I see him swimming 'round in my nightmares Feel the breeze through the night air And the [?] be right there ready to drown me And leave my lifeless corpse where he found me Couldn't kill me before so now he put a bounty on my head I'm wanted by the shadows as a trophy of they power Leave me hanging in the gallows With the other shallow minded people he influence Although we all the same, between us there's a nuance I'm meant for something greater than what was given Was put on a mission to make a difference We were never meant to live in conditions this harsh And you know where it starts? The genesis We bit the forbidden fruit, the root of our blemishes And guess who was there, him So now he lingers on in this world tryna condemn The water's building deeper, the sky's getting darker Hope I'm in the book of life but I rather meet the author I was taught you gotta fight, my life is on the line So I gotta take him out, I'm running out of time Verse 2: You thought that you was gonna kill me? Make me stop pursuing my dreams 'cause they don't feel me? Have me putting mask on 'cause I didn't love the real me Exiled the people who care 'cause they can heal me You took me from my parents, put me in foster homes In the children's hospital, therapist on the phone Puttin' chrome to my head, I coulda let it blown 'cause I felt I was worthless, insecure alone Shoulda known all along it was you Hissing in my spirit, biting in my conscious, my destiny you fear it 'cause you know the Lord got a plan for me and you hate it All my songs of love, you tell the people degrade it But this the part the underdog take his rise with the sort of light in my grip Now it's your demise Don't be surprised, I been had the courage laying dormant With this win, I'm 'bout to put a end to your torment
