Lichen drips from these hands
Reaching down from ancient land
The wind she whips up her song
The forest sings back in response
Ooooh, ooooh
Snake she slithers down the path
So sensual I can't look back
Transfixed by the mystery
And suddenly I'm way down deep
And way down here it's hard to breathe
And the snake, she sings to me
Transformation is never easy, transformation is not for free
So shed your skin child I know its painful and no one told you it's so costly
It will cost everything you own
It will cost everything you know
It will cost your whole damn life
So lay down child its time to die
And let snake sing you a lullaby
The song of the snake is sweet and smooth
To lure you in and make you choose
Choose your life or choose your death
Shed your skin till' there's nothing left
Until the very last breath is nigh
Let snake sing you a lullaby
Transformation is never easy, transformation is not for free
So shed your skin child I know it's painful and no one told you it's so costly
It will cost everything you own
It will cost everything you know
It will cost your whole damn life
So lay down child it's time to die
And let snake sing you a lullaby
Let snake sing you a lullaby
