[Verse 1]
Those snakes in the grass,
Will bite you one day.
As innocent as you are,
Will bite you.
[Verse 2]
Forget those times,
You dropped your guard,
Embraced those creatures,
With an open heart.
[Chorus]
Your neighbours, my friend,
May not be as true.
Nor as innocent as you,
Are ready to strike.
[Verse 3]
When you slip up,
When you falter,
When you veer off the road,
Of wisdom and right.
[Bridge]
You did not see the evil one,
Lurking, waiting, ready.
Our old enemy Lucifer,
Ready to bite.
[Chorus]
Speak ill they will,
Of you and yours.
All behind those hidden doors,
They sparkle in your darkness.
[Verse 4]
They snigger at your loss,
Those snakes were always there.
Caring nothing for your despair.
Cry not though,
The snakes are beyond repair.
[Outro]
You have truth and God,
In your ear and your heart.
Never fear, the truth sets you free,
God’s hand is very near.
