Meshuggah - This Spiteful Snake
Reality - this spiteful snake,
Rearing its ugly head
Venom dripping from its grin
As it tosses yet another obstacle in our way
If given a thousand years to collect,
To process, to portray
We could never encompass the voracity
Of one single day
Trapping us in its winding,
It's closing malignant cycles
A tightening coil to bind us,
Hold us tight in unforgiving embrace Its all-engulfing jaws - infinite, boundless
Biting down on the dying flesh of hope
Its fiery breath levelling, dismantling,
Flattening, tearing down the structure of our dreams
Overcome, defeated
Terrified, shivering, mute
Reality is terror - this truth is absolute
Reality - this spiteful snake
Shedding its smothering veil
A shroud to asphyxiate,
Exterminate, eradicate
Rearing its ugly head
Venom dripping from its grin
As it tosses yet another obstacle in our way
If given a thousand years to collect,
To process, to portray
We could never encompass the voracity
Of one single day
Trapping us in its winding,
It's closing malignant cycles
A tightening coil to bind us,
Hold us tight in unforgiving embrace Its all-engulfing jaws - infinite, boundless
Biting down on the dying flesh of hope
Its fiery breath levelling, dismantling,
Flattening, tearing down the structure of our dreams
Overcome, defeated
Terrified, shivering, mute
Reality is terror - this truth is absolute
Reality - this spiteful snake
Shedding its smothering veil
A shroud to asphyxiate,
Exterminate, eradicate
