The Snake Has No Head

Corrosion Of Conformity

6

Invalid at last smothers the working class

Nihilist to be turns the scrape into a gash

Walkin' tall and ignorant, this man is now a militant

Deceiving the prophets confession

To release this endless aggression

One is the soul amplified suicide keeps the masses terrified

But there's nothing to kill, nothing to kill

Nothing left unsaid 'cause the snake has no head

But the body fills with greed and we spill it when in need

And all the slaves are on probation

Growing fat in a comfortable nation

So the snake keeps on recruiting

We need one more royal shooting

Nothing left to lose so we create another wound

One is the soul amplified suicide keeps the masses terrified

But there's nothing to kill, nothing to kill

Nothing left unsaid 'cause the snake has no head

Fear of death is gain, consuming the weak in shame

It's a power we can't see but it leaves ourselves to blame

Shameless mourn another day, slithering sins fade away

But the snake's just a pawn and remains when we are gone
