cropsy - the coils of set lyrics

Loading...

when i was a fighting man
the kettle drums would beat
the people scattered gold dust
before my horses feet
but now i am a great king
the people hound my track
with poison in my wine cup
and daggers at my back

what do i know of cultured ways
the gilt, the craft and the lie
i who was born in a naked land
and bred in the open sky
subtle tongues, the sophist guile
they fail when the sword sings
rush in and die dogs
i was a man, before i was a king

under the caverned pyramids
great set coils asleep
among shadows of the tombs
his dusky people creep
i speak the word from the hidden gulfs
that never knew the sun
send me a servant for my hate
oh scaled and shining one

when the world was young
fiends of the night walked free
i strove with set by fire and steel
and the juice of the upas trees
now i sleep in the mount’s black heart
the ages take their toll
forget ye him who fought the snake
to save the human soul

what do i know of cultured ways
the gilt, the craft and the lie
i who was born in a naked land
and bred in the open sky
subtle tongues, the sophist guile
they fail when the sword sings
rush in and die dogs
i was a man, before i was a king

under the caverned pyramids
great set coils asleep
among shadows of the tombs
his dusky people creep
i speak the word from the hidden gulfs
that never knew the sun
send me a servant for my hate
oh scaled and shining one
