The Two Snakes

Heaven and Hell in the hands, a spell

To combine the Gods, sublimate the odds

Two globes divine, synchronize the lobes

Vesica contained, consonance attained

[Chorus]

Two snakes

Two snakes

Born of the womb, we spill out of the fish

Pisces twins, twelve into six

Two halves of a whole tug at a singular soul

Wound round a staff, two snakes control

[Chorus]

Two snakes

Two snakes

The two snakes cognitive dissidence of the soul

Let them struggle to eat it whole

The two snakes cognitive dissidence of the soul

Let them struggle to eat it whole

So let the hands of fate

Slither like a snake

Constrict around the earth

Strangled by its girth

Plant the staff genesis a tree

Plant a serpent seed inside to bleed

Wisdom unwind to the dark concede

To retreat from light once I can see

[Chorus]

Two snakes

Two snakes

Strings serpentine cadence condense but unwind

Two snakes refrain a fugue to see we are blind

Two snakes

Two snakes

Spagyric spirit addition begun

Manifold within springs the bind, undone

Manichean dream turn the halves to one

All the stars combine to a single sun

[Chorus]

Two snakes

Two snakes

Lies to truth and dust to life

Close the whole and bring black to white

Boil the fire and drink the flames

Detach from life to live free again

[Chorus]

Two snakes

Two snakes

The two snakes cognitive dissidence of the soul

Let them struggle to eat it whole

The two snakes cognitive dissidence of the soul

Let them struggle to eat it whole
