Citizen Cain - Serpents In Camouflage lyrics

I saw a vision and maybe it was true Crystals and nine strange enemies The third one approached me silently His charms in a leather bag He threw some stones and the wind turned cold Wolves cried out to Nemesis The old major at the table Battle crazed armies, test-tube chemistry Can you tell me what you think it means Wandering aimlessly out in a storm It was cool but a chill ran right through my soul Something has camouflaged this feeling deep inside I never thought I would see what I've seen I'm no fool but my eyes tell a different story Something has camouflaged this feeling deep inside The old major's just a fable His shimmering vision polite hostility Something has camouflaged this feeling deep inside You're in a landscape where the crows and dogs Invite you all to tea Yes you and me Now the wind has found me I'm dressed in white but I don't know who I am Just a child dressed for fortune and pain Am I on the inside just looking Tell me if you can Somewhere further away from where I lie And if there's danger approaching Well maybe it's in my mind Dreaming always of blue bu*terflies As we step closer still moving Beyond the promised land Where's my brother that blue bu*terfly We are the voice of home Running as fast as you can We know you're not at home It's all part of our plan Hey Michael I'll walk that tightrope with you Over bridges and dead bu*terflies Can you hear the wolves crying out from below Over bridges they just flutter by Oh they flutter We are the voice of home Running as fast as you can We know you're not at home It's all part of our plan Unlikely faces, unlikely forms Stretching motorways Derelict buildings forgotten homes His symphony's in disgrace Constantine's steeples where jack's that play He's covering the walls with ice His serpents are dying in camouflage The major is forced aside To the old soldier's home The wolf has changed his clothing He's dressed in shirt and tie He whistles some long forgotten tune He longs for the winter The ice in his eye, he begins The hour of the cyclone Fortunes return The storms of war in the air He grabs a child He takes me on a journey Over what will be I remember that long forgotten tune And there in the distance an ally in the wind And we begin Begin to fall, begin to fall He grabs the child Don't you know me Don't you hold me Your fortune's just a memory It's carved on every dogwood tree Don't you know me Don't you hold me I said your fortune's just a memory To die on every dogwood tree And it's you and me Now who approaches, show yourself Oh Serpentine Hear the voice crying out from below Destroy the kingdom of old Constantine All the children of Cain's bloody line The wolves are moving much closer Oh Serpentine Set to feast on your flesh and your bones I see your major impaled left to die To the crows and dogs you flutter by So as you walk on that long avenue Where the serpent died in camouflage Can you hear the wolves crying out from below Now the serpent's lost his camouflage So as you live on that long avenue Over bridges and dead bu*terflies Can you hear the wolves crying out from below In the distance they just flutter by Serpents in camouflage The serpent has died in camouflage Serpents in camouflage
