Now a serpent spoke to me

He was hanging from a pale and nameless tree

On the blade, where the guys are all insane

His voice was like the wind that blows

A thousand crows all rising into flight

Upon the night, alright
Woah, look out! ---> (see Tab B for solo and rhythm guitars)

So I left him in his tree
A
Score some horses, took the road that runs in circles to the sea
A
But the snake he followed me

So I hopped a ship, a silver seed

Past galaxies and stars with speed

To end this planet's world's a... void (sorry, hard to determine lyrics here)
