Kissed by a snake / You will give birth to a worm / That eats into the small black hearts / Pumping poison as it turns / Eyed by a basilisk / You will get stoned / My love has serpents in her hair / She combs with a rake / And stares beyond
Oh what is life but an open grave / What is today but tomorrow´s yesterday / Hey / Pluck out the eye that offends thee / Raise hell or lower the heaven at least
Yeah it´s a skeleton farm
Look in the abyss / And it looks up on you / In snake pit balanced are the scales / All souls damned versed in the truth / Devoured by sulphur / In the belly of wind / Monsters kill monsters / Who kill monsters / In the small hearts / That smile within
Oh what is life but an open grave / What is today but tomorrow´s yesterday / Hey / Pluck out the eye that offends thee / Raise hell or lower the heaven at least
Yeah it´s a skeleton farm
