evermoon - Serpent King Lyrics

Come around me boys and
Let me tell you all a story
Would you hear of how I crossed the sea
And made my mother worry?
I haven't given myself to joy in ages, dear boys
Or to anything at all in fact, so make me some noise
Who's the king of the mountain?
(Oh! Have you heard the rumours?)
Who's the king of the mountain?
(It's an old story)
Who's the king of the mountain?
(Wouldn't you like to know)
Who's the king of the mountain?
I was following her sweet song
Then I wound up here
Let me tell you none of her feistiness
Could unman me
Besides I was a snake brightly born
From a drum she once beat
Our ceremony was lively
With gods and snakes alike
We played Orpheus and Euridice
But I didn't let her die
He's the king of the mountain
(Ancient skin and bone)
He's the king of the mountain
(Anything but afraid)
He's the king of the mountain
(Holy land where she danced)
He's the king of the mountain
We were worshipped for our song
Then we disappeared
