Serpents in the throne room

I hear the hissing...

They were always here.

You smile with fangs behind your tongue

Striking quick, then swear you’re young

Every whisper’s poison deep

Every secret you swore to keep

Your crown is crawling with deceit

Your throne is where the serpents meet

I gave you trust, you gave me teeth

Now I choke on the lies beneath

I should’ve seen the venom in your eyes

You can’t disguise the truth with lies

Serpents in the throne room, coiled to strike

You built your reign on betrayal and spite

I’ll cut the head off the lies you’ve grown

This kingdom was never your own

Serpents in the throne room, venom and fire

I’ll watch your empire fucking expire

I taste the venom, I feel it burn

Every lesson is one I’ve learned

You thought I’d die beneath your bite

But I’ll be the one who ends this night

The walls are shaking, the crown won’t last

Your empire crumbles, your time has passed

Every snake that slithered in

Will choke on the chaos from within

(STRIKE!)

I’ll rip the venom from your veins

(BURN!)

Your throne collapses in the flames

Serpents in the throne room, coiled to strike

You built your reign on betrayal and spite

I’ll cut the head off the lies you’ve grown

This kingdom was never your own

Serpents in the throne room, venom and fire

I’ll watch your empire fucking expire

I hear the hissing...

And now I hear the silence.
