lyrics

A great silence has fallen, the sibilant tongues are quiet
Viper’s venom and a woman’s blood blend on the haunted sands
Out of one severed head grows a manifold consciousness

Yet, in the monster’s last breath a human’s dying wish
That from this trail of death, life and death will be reared.

In the dust, scaly coils formed and a glittering eye spawned
Out of one severed head grows a manifold consciousness

Coiled around your heart,
Sings a serpent within, pulling your strings
“His mind wav’ring and inconstant as the wind”

Heads or tails?
Life’s a pattern with a myriad turns
Infected with a poison of indecision
Heads or tails?
Raging temptations, we’re panic-stricken
Amphisbaena, the many-sided one

“I am the other one inside
I am the paradox in your mind
I feed on doubt and double-bind
Lurking and whispering that soon your time will be out”

Soul unchained
Heart in pain

Heads or tails?
Life’s a pattern with a myriad turns
Infected with the poison of indecision
Heads or tails?
Raging temptations, we’re panic-stricken
Amphisbaena, the many-sided one

Soul unchained
Heart in pain
Mental bane
The human strain
