Here Come The Snakes Lyrics - Bring On The Snakes - Crooked Fingers

Dim the lanterns, kill the lights, let's leave tonight to hide away 

To take cold comfort in the dark and leave our hearts behind to wait 

We'll tear away these dreadful skins that we must shed to start again 

The evil things that you can do are easy if you think them through 

Are easy if you can pretend 

So shut your windows lock your doors 

Here come the snakes you best be sure 

To keep your conscience bolted tight 

'Cause they'll be lying waiting 

Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies 

Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night 

You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar 

'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire 

So keep your shadow out of sight the time is right to hide away 

To keep your conscience frozen numb the time has come don't be afraid 

We'll tear away these dreadful skins that we must shed to start again 

The sickest thing they did to you the did because you let them through 

The did because you let them in 

So shut your windows lock your doors 

Here come the snakes you best be sure 

To keep your conscience bolted tight 

'Cause they'll be lying waiting 

Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies 

Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night 

You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar 

'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire 

I know you've been burning we both know there's no light 

So dim the lanterns so we don't see the darkness of this night
