There’s a place in my mind, actually, a sanctuary I didn’t like the way it swings so I froze it finally I never cared what comes next in the morning But when she comes I have to listen To those ringing voices inside my head To these cold voices they say it louder and louder “Kill the snake” then I smash a piece of old dreams And the snake is nowhere to be seen
Then I ask, “Is it me, or the snake that has the poison and wants to use it?” I never suspect what you say in the night But when she comes it won’t be so easy And I might have another chance to beat the voices in my head But they are stronger than ever, “Kill the Snake!” Then I smash the frozen river and the snake is nowhere to be seen
Is it love? Or is it fear? Is it hatred? Is it despair? Now I’m on my knees just to confess how I’m honored to see you
I listen to those ringing voices inside my head To these cold voices they say it louder and louder “Kill the snake” then I smash a piece of all dreams And I’ll never have another chance to beat the voices in my head And they are stronger than ever “Kill the snake!” Then I smash the remains of the truth And the snake is nowhere to be seen Jet Lyrics
