Neck Deep - Serpents

Don't get too close, that place is haunted Fear not the ghosts, 'cause she sent them running She sleeps beneath the surface Consorting with the serpents She strikes without a purpose A dark face in a corridor, deceptively beautiful She's watching you, she's in everything you do Her kiss it tastes so sweet but left me with a lethargy I couldn't shake I'd made a grave mistake I gave her my heart, she didn't want it Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it Since then I haven't been the same Needed a victim and she got it Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it Some men don't dare to speak her name She picked me up from my decline, healed my wounds with love and wine Dosed me up and closed my eyes, a taste of poison She gave me all that I desired, sung the songs of angel choirs Preached the words of death and fire and left me burning I gave her my heart, she didn't want it Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it Since then I haven't been the same Needed a victim and she got it Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it Some men don't dare to speak her name She sleeps beneath the surface Consorting with the serpents She strikes without a purpose
