The snakes flee an imminence They betray me as I betray you They flee upon the prospects of trust Down the hollows of the deep
They flee the hounds of heaven They flee the adversary
They flee the nights and they flee the days At unperturbed speed
Lo and behold, their cunning beguile And all that's born die Heaven and I weep, I'm defenseless You drove love from yourself
As you drove love from me
Now as the chase draw nigh
It is time to bid farewell
You better content yourself in me Or nothing will ever content thee
Lo and behold, their cunning beguile And all that's born die Heaven and I weep, I'm defenseless You drove love from yourself
As you drove love from me
