Dressed in snake skin as she coiled next to me
Showed me something that I knew I should never see
Cold like snakes breath as her lips approached my ear
Told me something that I knew I should never hear
"This house behind the black veil
Dead wood hung with casket nails
Someone has followed you here
Some secret... Some lie... Some fear
There's no death from this life
There is no death from this life"
Wearing snake skin as she coiled next to me
Wearing fake skin, pushed her poison straight into me
"Sweet life behind the black veil
The howls and the wretched wails
I've come to welcome you here
In the house made of secrets, shadows, fears
No death from this life
There is no death from this life
It's a mystery no more. No"
I'm not afraid, no
"Tomorrow is always one day away
But it's never here, oh, yesterday is gone
Come, follow behind the black veil
Where the devil comes to shed his scales
Someone is waiting inside
Your mother, your sister, your child, your bride"
Slow she slithered as she tunnelled down below
Led me somewhere that I knew I should never go
