Lyrics The Serpent Rings - Magnum

The Serpent Rings

You steal what you can carry
You’re not afraid
It’s not the truth — desire you crave
In your mind
You don’t know how it works
No satisfaction and it hurts
No refuge from the landscape
You’ve lost control
You watch the emptiness unfold
Then it came
To steal your liberty
Some day they say the blind will see
Can’t wear a veil to disguise who you are
Burning the sun from your
Serpent rings on every
Finger, gold and silver
So beware if you follow that creed
The crowd all sing
Of flaming horses that run with great speed
On silent wings
Don’t take it in
Don’t take it in
Don’t take it in
I know the hangman can’t wait to begin
You walked the road forever
And paid no toll
You’ve got confusion in your soul
Baby girl
They said you’d go astray
Pay no attention all the way
When dragon clouds disappear from the sky
Mercia green stole her
Iron horse rise into
Azure and it’s over
So beware if you follow that creed
The crowd all sing
Of flaming horses that run with great speed
On silent wings
Don’t take it in
Don’t take it in
Don’t take it in
I know the hangman can’t wait to begin
Don’t take it in
Don’t take it in
Don’t take it in
Wake up tomorrow and know where you’ve been
