The Serpent and the Deer

I dug a grave for my heart For my name, for my art You were hiding in pain, torn apart So afraid of the dark I picked up an axe and then Followed your tracks in the cage Found bloody rags Trying to mask your acts of rage And I did what I had to do I decapitated you Blood came raining down from the sky But you're still alive How did you survive? Why didn't you die? The Bambisnake is back And it shakes me like a heart attack In the grip of a maniac A choir of broken clocks I am swaying in the paradox The cycle never stops You're like an assassin that kills Without saying a word I fled through the passage that leads On the top of the world The shadows of who I pretended to be Trapped my soul and my brain I never knew that I'd need You to make me whole again Stalking through the night like a hunter My heart is pounding to the sound of the thunder You've awakened the beast in me The one they fear The Serpent and the Deer The Bambisnake is back And it shakes me like a heart attack In the grip of a maniac A choir of broken clocks I am swaying in the paradox The cycle never stops The Bambisnake is back And it shakes me like a heart attack In the grip of a maniac A choir of broken clocks I am swaying in the paradox The cycle never stops The cycle never stops
