The Serpentine Offering (Video Edit) - Dimmu Borgir

My decent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

My decent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

Evoked and entertained through centuries

Wrathful and sullen--dormant still

The ferocity pervades everywhere

Waiting to be released at last

Hear my offering

Ye bastard sons and daughters

Share my sacrifice

Share my sacrifice

My decent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

My decent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

My decent is the story of everyman

My decent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

My decent is the story of everyman

I am hatred, darkness and despair

Reconcile not with the fear of the snake

But embrace it as your own

Inject it's venom into your veins

And replant the seed that gives growth

Still shrouded in mystery

Until you arise above perception

A veil of ignorance is in motion

Continuing throughout generations

A veil of ignorance is in motion

Continuing throughout multiple generations

let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit

And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature

The snake is notoriously tempting

But the snake is fair

What is worse than not knowing?

To live or disappear?

The ferocity pervades everywhere

Waiting to be released at last

Hear my offering

Ye bastard sons and daughters

Share my sacrifice

Share my sacrifice
