Under the shadow where the roots collide A serpent whispers Truth untied Its tongue so sharp Its gaze so wide It never swayed It never lied No venom dripped No secrets to hide The serpent spoke The earth complied Oh the serpent that never lied It told the tales the world denied With every word The myths all died Oh the serpent that never lied The wind would howl The rivers screamed But still its voice cut through the dream It spoke of hearts Both cracked and clean A prophet's curse Or so it seemed No forked deceit No gilded guise Just steady truth in endless ties Oh the serpent that never lied It told the tales the world denied With every word The myths all died Oh the serpent that never lied The serpent that never lied Oh the serpent that never lied The serpent that never lied Oh the serpent that never lied
