[Intro]
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
[Verse One]
Painted grin and confidence, so willing to spar
You walk round like you own the place, I know who you are
Have to be the best at everything that you do
I'd recognize you anywhere, it's clear from my view
So omniscient, all around you are fools
Blinded by your pride, you're swallowed up by your rule
Head of your pack, you're making everyone bow
It's biblical the way I see this story play out
[Chorus]
A Serpent, a Reptile
It's clear as day, I see the snake through the smile
The likeness, uncanny
Your scales are shining out there for miles
Better be careful how
You go about this now
Forgiveness isn't how you're renowned
I'd watch your back is all
That ledge is pretty tall
And you're looking quite a bit like
The Devil 'fore the fall
[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
[Verse Two]
Beneath your feet is Holy ground for us all to kiss
But watch your step or you'll descend into a power trip
Make yourself big by making them all feel small
And for the longest time, you made me the smallest of all
I won't move a muscle, you won't answer to me
When Reckoning arrives, you can beg on your knees
You rule absolute, but absolute will rule you
A king of lavish lack, sovereign of fewer and few
[Chorus]
A Serpent, a Reptile
It's clear as day, I see the snake through the smile
The likeness, uncanny
Your scales are shining out there for miles
Better be careful how
You go about this now
Forgiveness isn't how you're renowned
I'd watch your back is all
That ledge is pretty tall
And you're looking quite a bit like
The Devil 'fore the fall
[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
The Devil 'fore the fall
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
The Devil 'fore the fall
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
The Devil 'fore the fall
(Baby, can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling?)
The Devil
[Bridge]
Midas touch seems a rush
Until you starve to death
Weakness you won't expose
But Emperor, you wear no clothes
Bring down sweet Eve
You'll make a goddess small
Piously scrambling
To finally feel tall
Are you prepared to face off with the divine?
Do you have any clue who it is you undermine?
You'll meet your maker with the words that you say
There's a chill in the air better wrap up for judgement day
(I am the thief in the night)
(I am the poems they write)
(I am the one that you had better keep within your sight)
Day...
(I am the watcher that waits)
(I am the server of fate)
(I am the prowler waiting patient as you fall for the bait)
[Chorus]
A Serpent, a Reptile
Why so sad, sweetheart? Let's see a smile
The likeness, uncanny
Call the mobs, it's time for a trial
Better be careful how
You go about this now
Forgiveness isn't how you're renowned
I'd watch your back is all
That ledge is pretty tall
And you're looking quite a bit like
The Devil 'fore the fall
