The Slithering Snakes

All the slithering snakes, so slippery they slide
With their whipping forked tongues and eyes bulging wide
Demons and devils and (dark) angels, fallen
Raising the wrath is their own personal calling

Venom and hatred whilst rattling their 'tales'
Taken from mystical books cloaked in black veils
Heaven's no haven and hell's to avoid
And nothing will stop them with their armies deployed

The devil's a man he's a cold bloodied creature
He's a peddler of evil; of the dark arts he's a teacher
A wink and a smile; the bullet, the bomb
All in his stride or his slide, with ease and aplomb

God's in your head, but Satan's a fact
And the prayer's not to save you, it's there to attract
Lured by the slithering snakes, so slippery they hide
With their whipping forked tongues and eyes bulging wide
