In the darkening waylaid night With my cradle she took her flight Into the wilderness picking her fight Can you understand my young mother's plight Amid the treetops where no one could see She sang a song and a prayer for me Laid down my cradle to flow down the stream Into cold nature and into her dreams Away from the comforts that burn at the stake She gave birth to a venom snake Oh don't you cry no more On her great pyre she smiled For she carried lucifer's child I spit like a snake and I howl at the moon Before twenty-one winters, and twenty-two soon My mother's revenge has sharpened my claws For I only abide by nature's laws And I will descend on the preacher men's nest To take my revenge in a feast of their flesh Away from the comforts that burn at the stake She gave birth to a venom snake Oh don't you cry no more On her great pyre she smiled For she carried lucifer's child And if they think in death they'd find rest My mother awaits them a torturer's guest So don't you go down, no Your bended knees wouldn't help Away from the comforts that burn at the stake She gave birth to a venom snake Oh don't you cry no more On her great pyre she smiled For she carried lucifer's child
