Meshuggah - This Spiteful Snake Lyrics






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

    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 leveling, 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
