Burning - Snakes Of Life lyrics

I have denied myself what you can't live without You wanna know how I did it? You wanna know how I did it? The whistling songs of whips, didn't make me doubt You wanna know why it didn't? You wanna know why it didn't? I fought the snake... The serpent's tongue The truth cut with a thousand knives The serpent's tongue The true reason for our venomous lives And every time I've failed I have made amends You wanna know how I did it? You wanna know how I did it? I never climbed the stairs, at your expense You wanna know why I didn't? You wanna know why I didn't? I fought the snake... The serpent's tongue The truth cut with a thousand knives The serpent's tongue The true reason for our venomous lives You wanna know how I did it? You wanna know how I did it? You wanna know how I did it? I looked the snake right in the eyes and then I turned... I turned away... I turned I turned I turned I turned
