DEVILDRIVER
"Nest Of Vipers"

Let me ask you
If I die for you, would you die for me?
What do the cards say on this cold, dank day?

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I've spread the deck so many times
I've watched the lamps burn bright
I've spread the deck so many times
I've seen their insight
All the signs told me all this time, all this time

[Chorus:]
The kings sworn men make perfect liars
She sleeps with bones beside her
They found her body in a nest of vipers

How many miles to Babylon I've been back and around the sun
Riding in the hands of gods, to spill the wine and worship the dogs

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I've spread the deck out so many times
I've watched the lamps burn bright
All the signs told me, this time

[Chorus:]
The kings sworn men make perfect liars
They found her body in a nest of vipers
She sleeps with bones beside her
They found her body in a nest of vipers
In a nest of vipers

[Bridge:]
Heir to the throne
Wings spread spitting fire
Heavy is the crown
That weighs down the desire

[Bridge:]
Heir to the throne
Wings spread spitting fire
Heavy is the crown
That weighs down the desire

[Tag:]
If I die for you would you die for me?

[Chorus:]
The kings sworn men make perfect liars
(If I die for you would you die for me?)
They found her body in a nest of vipers
(If I die for you would you die for)
She sleeps with bones beside her
(If I die for you would you die for me?)
They found her body in a nest of vipers
In a nest of vipers

[Outro:]
If I die for you
Would you die for me
