Scorpion Hymn Lyrics by ERRA
Cold world
Make my stomach turn
Fire
Burns eternal
Endless war
Smoke clearing out wolves in a paper house
We cut the wicked tongue
We tie the noose you’ve hung
We see the boundless harm
Petrified hands, broken hearts
Treading water
Scorpion on my back
Onset of paralysis
I stand transfixed upon my own reflection
Unacquainted with the one that stands before me
Assembled with such careful calculation
Are you the man that you claim to be?
A dream once hopeful
Now a conduit of self-hatred
Left in a timeworn tomb of destinations once held sacred
The shifting serpent
Slithering in eternal shadow
We cut the wicked tongue
We tie the noose you’ve hung
We see the boundless harm
Petrified hands, broken hearts
Make my stomach turn
You endorsed the hurt
Now you must live with the shame
