Cloak & Dagger
Agonize The Serpent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another target to end
The agonizing moment when your life will descend
Under a Serpents Oath
I dare you pull the trigger
I'll put a knife down your throat
Hunting you down
Where two worlds collide
Nowhere to hide
Bow for your enemy
The calm before the storm of the century
SILENT MURDER
In the blink of an eye
Destination: Demise
CLOAK AND DAGGER
Blood has been shed
Now we sing for the dead
The royal bodies decay
Betraying the restless
Scavenge their graves
Blood makes the angels mourn
Crawling trough ashes in shadows we're born
The devil breathes down your neck
Run for your life, a god can't protect
YOU
From death and damnation
Retaliation, murder, perfection
You wash the blood of your hands
But we have foreseen it, we knew of your plans
As light fades away
The verdict is final, there's no more to say
