Serpents Tempt the Tempted Man (11/18/18)

"Serpents Tempt the Tempted Man" (11/18/18)

When the winter rolls in

And the mountains grow cold

Don’t set down your pack, honey

Ain’t your time to grow old 


Serpents only tempt 

The tempted man 

Who falls to earth 

To rise again 

Spiral down 

To spiral up 

Hurricanes howl

To shake things up 


Chip away the heavy block

That gravity that has no roots 

Heavy as the ball and chain 

Forgot the tree with airy fruits 


Serpents only tempt 

The tempted man 

Who falls to earth 

To rise again 

Spiral down 

To spiral up 

Floods will flash 

To clean you up 


Walk along the short high plain 

Just to double back again 

Don’t you know the long road’s toil 

Will shuffle off this mortal coil


Serpents only tempt 

The tempted man 

Who falls to earth 

To rise again 

Spiral down 

To spiral up 

Lightning strikes 

From up above
