Pit Viper

[ lyrics: natalie merchant/music: steve gustafson ]
In the cruel garrison of affection
If worth of lore is true
You know the face of a temptress
Pit viper
A witch or enchantress
Pit viper
With the malign venom of conceit
She tries
Civil men
Conceal fear
Misgivings
When night entreats them
A greater chill sustains
Stains her
Darkness
Shall not inhibit death blow
Know this skin does not restrict her
Tear and shed the coil
Fall of garland leaves
Below the soil

The Viper

The viper
A snake for life
He strikes only the weak
His poison is an instant death
Admiration he seeks

His teeth are hidden in his throat
Camouflaged
His soul is hidden in his coat
Such pretty colors, shinny skin
Attractive to the mortal brain
Stupidity within

But there is something in his way
An unexcused feeling
Of incomprehensible fear
Uncontrolled heartbeats
A careful walk when he is near
A subconscious threat
Just lingers in the atmosphere
The worshipers are cautious here

And fear will keep them on his side
The wicked are never alone
Even when poison will punish their pride
Even when they know he's wrong

Respect he demanded
But never earned
There never were ways he could learn
He wins the affection he once was denied
In disgusting lies he survives

The viper
Is never killed
By his own venom
A careful user
An experienced master
A veteran
He never will show any weakness
He knows weakness well
The weak are his target
But he's never biting his tongue

Though weakness is there
In the snake's hidden soul
The evil created
In abandonment

But it's too late to change
The viper is smart
He knows in his heart
The weak is his cage
He'll never admit
He will live through his spit
His poisonous spit
His innocent kills
Of those who remind him
Of all that he is
Of all of his sins

The stupid that worship
Will follow his way
If stupid would not care
No evil would stay

Little Viper

Slice
Dice
Ooh baby, baby how come you never say anything nice
Never ever satisfied
Never get enough
Little Viper
Always so damn mean to me
I just don't understand
Why do you wanna do this to your man?

You're a witch with a capital B
Girl, you're a mastermind of broken hearts
Got mine on a string
Pull, pull, pullin' it along
Feels so wrong
Feel so right
Even when you got me
Singing all night

On my knees
Beggin' ya please, please
Baby please
There's only so much bad lovin' a man can take
Only so much I'm willin' to fake
Pretendin' we're still the same
The same as we were yesterday
Ooh Little Viper, no way

Making my move
Gonna try to get closer
Closer to you
Give you one last chance
One last shot to save this love
Before you shove me on out
Forever outta your life

Loved you like I never loved anyone else
Now I'm startin' to doubt
If we'll ever
Ever get our shh back together again
My guitar and my face lost ago lost their grin
When you started turning away from me and to the gin
Oh baby, baby, can you tell me?
Where did we go wrong, so wrong?

Shewolf

The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please
The priestess roars, get down on your knees
The rite of the praying mantis
Kiss the bones of the enchantress
Spellbound searching through the night
A howling man surrenders the fight
One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she-wolf
My desires of flesh obey me
The lioness will enslave me
Another heart beat than my own
The sound of claws on cobblestone, Im stoned
Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies
Her hidden will to kill in disguise

My Last Tear

I won't cry.
I won't beg.
I won't ask why.
I don't know why I should.

You're not worth it;
Not worth such pain.
I've shed my last tear.
Nothing will fall from these eyes,
The grief you caused me.

I have shed my last tear,
For you.
You're not worth it.
You're not worth my grief.
You're not good for me.

These are my last tears
And remember,
You're the one that said,
Good-Bye...

To Some Greed Is The Blood.

Alas! there are some
To whom the eyes are waste,
To some the tongue a viper,
To some limbs a vice!
O God! why such cruel creations?
Why in so many the heart is absent
And greed is the blood?

New Warm Skin

One fatal gift
Arrived here today
Heavenly sent
From the beauticians that pray
Here comes that face
And its a textural treat
Is this a war?
Is this a god?
New
Warm
Skin
New
Warm
Expensive to touch
Its a novocaine skin
Beauty; this beast
Is transparent and thin
This sun can be cruel
I dont want to melt
Is this a war?
Is this a god?
New warm skin
New warm skin
New warm skin
New warm
One fatal gift
Arrived here today
Contorted dreams
Of the beauticians that pray
Crawling out of this heat
And drifting this way
Is this a war?
Is this a god?
New warm skin
New warm skin
New warm skin
Is this a war?
Is this a god?

A Single Candle/Death Herself

A single flame lights her face
The face of death
A single candle holds her fears
The fears of death

Her hands clasped anrond their souls
The souls of the dead
She feeds of their screams
The screams of the dead

Her legs lay bellow her
Bellow death
Her black gown over her body
The body of death

Her chest rises and falls with her breath
The breath of death
Her cloak drawn over her long flowing jet hair
The face of death

Her eyes unmoved unfeeling
Do you see it?
Do you see the soul of death?
Do you feel it?

Her skin as white as snow as it fades into darkness
The snow of tears
Her cloths as dark as night that swallows the light
The dark we all shall see

Her eyes close as she feels their souls flow
Flow from the dead
She leaves them there to lay in darkness
She steals from the dead

A single candle lights their faces filled with her
Filled with death
They fall into the darkness of her eyes, of her heart
The darkness of death

A single candle shall stay to light their way
Their way through the dark
A single candle holds their past
The pain and trials

A single candle lights her face
The face of death
A single candle holds her fears
The fears of death herself

A single candle

Gone Is The Light

Every day I wake in my lonely bed
How I wish that I was dead
No more left to be said
A great burden I carry on my head
All I do is question why
No longer pointing my head to the sky
No more wind is in my sail
Nothing more I can fail

I have lost my only friend
In love I fall never again
It is sad but yet so true
Nothing left for me to do
Into the night I'll fade away
For me there's just no more day
All is left is the night
Gone tomorrow the sun light

Darkness surrounds everywhere
Gray are my skies since she's not here
Turned his back no longer I sleep
For my soul no one will keep
As winter’s chill cometh the dawn
Lost all my senses since she’s gone
The darkness cry’s out my name
Hard I find to live down the shame

No longer can I conceal my sorrow
Why must there be a tomorrow
No more comes a brighter day
It just won’t seem to go away
This is a first for me to be alone
I've never been on my own
Gone are the days of my happiness
All is left is pure sadness

No one left to kiss and caress
No longer do I have someone to impress
The darkness I now embrace
For I have fallen on my face
No more to rise it’s the end
For I’ve lost my best friend
That voice I no longer hear
For she’s no longer here

Let's Face The Music And Dance

there may be trouble ahead,
but while theres moonlight and music and love and romance,
let's face the music and dance.
before the fiddlers have fled,
before they ask us to pay the bill,
and while we still have the chance,
let's face the music and dance.
soon, we'll be without the moon,
humming a different toon,
and then,
there may be tear drops to shed.
so while theres moonlight and music and love and romance,
let's face the music and dance,
let's face the music and dance.
(musical break)
soon, we'll be without the moon,
humming a different toon,
and then,
there may be tear drops to shed.
so while theres moonlight and music and love and romance,
let's face the music and dance,
let's face the music and dance.

The Eyes Of Death

I have stared into the eyes of death with my own
It is hard to see death eye to eye, face to face
Many times death leaves a cold darkness
Other times death leaves a bright light

There are many who may welcome death
They are ready to meet their maker face to face
Others attempt death by their own hand
For whatever reason I can see the torment in their eyes

I have stared into the eyes od death only to see darkness
It has been my own death that I have seen
Many times by my own hand
Others by the hand of others I have seen my death in their eyes

Whatever death is my fate let me face it
Eye to eye as I have seen others no regrets
Even though I would be dead
Let others see that I have made peace with my maker and others

Lady Temptress

Her skin so fair and soft
Gentle words she speaks
Eyes of such temptation
She can make one weak
Lady Temptress
Her smile all too true
She'll make you want more
My lady has her magic
And that you can be sure
Lady Temptress

Don't Shed A Tear

Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I want it more
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
You are giving what I'm not taking
I'm not missing what we ain't making
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed no tears,
I don't need a thing

The Witch's Promise

Lend me your ear while I call you a fool.
You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood,
and later insisted your feelings were true.
The witch's promise was coming,
believing he listened while laughing you flew.
Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same,
and the love you have found lay outside in the rain.
Washed clean by the water but nursing its pain.
The witch's promise was coming, and you're looking
elsewhere for your own selfish gain.
Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be,
well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is.
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see.
You won't find it easy now, it's only fair.
He was willing to give to you, you didn't care.
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share.
The witch's promise is turning, so don't you wait up
for him, he's going to be late.

Music……

Music gives life a soothing motion
music controls our every emotion

Music is god to whom we pray
Music helps us pure our souls each day

music gives every moment its true worth
Tears at a wedding, or be it childs birth

music gives me life like the sun
music wields me to strive and run

music serves as our only inspiration
music takes us to a world full of imagination

If music is god then god is true..
music like god, is within me and you..

Me and music will never fall apart..
music to me is the soul of my heart.

Void

Silence shuddered in night's deceptive arms
Memories rose and fell to insane rhythms
There was bliss that smiled for a fleeting lifetime
Which morphed to a viper's coil spewing rage
At neglect of an absent lover's selfish memory
Obsessive yearning threaded through insomniac nights
Patterned in the ebb and rush of latent desires
Needs to be met from hasty promises
Hollowed to fruition at lust's virulent grip
Trysts in creation pulsing their pagan cycles
Scents of life, of a most guarded saga...

St. George & The Dragon

Can you tell me where I might find the hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below seventh avenue
With the princess dipped in lace and not a victim of circumstance
We drew lots for his soft underbelly
Now his fate is sealed with my lance
Chorus:
I can tell by the look in your eye
Youve never seen the man with nothing to say
I can tell by the look in your eye
Youd better watch yourself
St. george is on his way
Is it true that hes a mighty warrior
And a viper of the first degree
Ive been sentenced here to slay the giant
Geld this fear I cannot see
Can you tell me where I might find the hydra
Is he wearing a familiar face
Does he still live below seventh avenue
In the slums of satans grace
Chorus
