Snakes Lyrics

We'll go together into the dark woods
Sinking with wise old tree roots
How I want to unlearn

I don't want old branches no more
Every tooth is broken
And all of the flesh is burnt

I've wounded my side
And I've wound in my hide

Don't ask what is the price of my hand
Would you be queen of my land?
When everyone else is gone

Fire, making my way much harder
All of this time I'm after
Images of my soul

And I've wounded my side
And I've wounded my hide And I've got snakes in my eyes
And I've got snakes in my mind, mind

Peace of my mind is cast in iron
Come on now baby, ride on
Down to the root of life, life

No, no, don't give me more of your glow
Come on now baby, ride on
Down the joys of my night, night

And I've wounded my side
And I've wounded my hide
And I've got snakes in my eyes
And I've got snakes in my mind, mind

No, no, ..., die
I'm not too far down
I'm not too far gone
