lyrics

Drawn from my altar
Embraced by shaking hands
In the moment of your sacrifice
Yours is the power
But mine is the command
So by your side I linger
Coiled for purpose

Awaiting
Awaiting pain

I am the way
To joy and to redemption
I am the way
To cleanse and scourge your soul
I am the way
To free you of your torment
I am the way
The snake that swallows whole

Lash! Lash! Feel as I caress your back
Break yourself in penance for the sins that you commit
Lash! Lash!
Carve yourself a ladder
In the vain attempt to elevate your spirit from the pit

And still, the left hand strikes
As the right hand begs for life
Eternally self-punishing
Forever, strife

Coiled for purpose
