Garden Tigers - Snake in the Lemon Grove Lyrics

There's a shadow play on the moon tonight
Of the snake in the lemon grove
Where the fruit smells so sweet but has a sour taste
And you know that just one bite
Will exile you for good
At least that's what the ancient stories say

And when the snake awakens
From its restless eons sleep
And swallows whole the moons last source of light
It's in that eternal darkness
The old ones rise again
To bend the earth and rend the hearts of men

Come dance around the maypole
As the venom takes its hold
As the light bends like fractals round again
Come dance around the maypole
As the venom takes its toll
And shows you how everything will end

Some say the Midgard serpent
Or Questzecotal taking flight
Or Leviathan but they are all the same
You can't live in the garden
With venom in your blood
But there is so much more to this world to be seen

Come dance around the maypole
As the venom takes its hold
As the light bends like fractals round again
Come dance around the maypole
As the venom takes its toll
And shows you how everything will end
