The Snake & the Pit - Triddana

Followed the snake to the pit, room for lost souls

They took me to sleep, with a thought to choke on

Who wants to live seeking saviours

And reap what is sown in a never-ending circle?

No waters drag me, no flame can harm me

I rise higher and higher

No chain can bound me, no eyes defy me

I rise higher and higher

Fear will feed with what you let in

You won’t see how firm the rein is

I’m not the man you betrayed;

now I know that

Hope isn’t my game, it is a jail made for us

I saw the fiends drool for my skin

But I stepped without fear

As I walked they made way for me
