lyrics

Let the light pass – let the life flow
Let the sun set – let the night go

Born on a retrograde
The planet spins for ten thousand years
Ten thousand days
The peak of Saturn calling, the Ouroboros
The dust of The North that drives us forward
Bitter times, divided our lives
Between goodbyes and greetings
We were always seeping
Our souls, our hearts and minds
Collide in an explosion
Cold bone shattering, mental health battling
As we try and triumph even in the darkest times
Longest nights past in the blink of an eye
And everyone you know someday will die
Float in space with a third eye open
The snake has awoken
Seductive and unspoken
Turn to stone or get lost in its rhythms - movement
The serpents are translucent - movement
The serpents are translucent - movement

The serpents are translucent - translucent

So let the light pass – let the life flow
Let the sun set – and let the night go

And it’s all just snakes & ladders
Half truths told by the martyrs
And it’s all just snakes & ladders
Mythologized with cloak-and-dagger
And it’s all just snakes & ladders
Half truths told by the martyrs
And it’s all just snakes & ladders
Mythologize with cloak-and-dagger

Ancient eyes, lights in the skies
All look at thee – stand with the trees
And tease the breeze – eternal endings,
Partings… and no more shall we chart
These treacherous waters, foamless in shape
Submerge with your own soul
External from the heartless carcasses
Sentencing death and debt
Shackles of serpents symbolised in seasons
An end is a beginning built from those old bones
Old tides drunken in sober oceans
A game of snakes & ladders
Climb the highest tower and fly…
Coz there is no end, no finale
No cloak can hide thee – no fixed identity
Only the frequency we leave
