They Pray With Snakes - Boondox

In the belly of the beast a place that’s miles away

In a deep southern town where the devil comes to pray

A choir sings with their eyes sown shut

By the stream children playing water flowin with blood

The pastor stands on his pulpit while preachin to hell

On the hilltop church with demons ringing the bell

They tolled twice for the missing and the recently departed

In the pews the congregation sits a 100 days rotted

Suffering is all around us, stench of death in the air

Nobody seems to notice or nobody seems to care

Its just an everyday life an a normal routine

People walkin' right by but never notice the screams

A backwoods philosophy passed down through the ages

Generation of murder written down in these pages

Of a book overlooked and forgotten in history

A place where the secret is surrounded by mystery

I can hear them screaming through the forest at night

They pray with snakes and they poisons my mind

I can hear them screaming through the forest at night

They pray with snakes and they poisons my mind

Was it a curse or a sickness that is raised in the minds

Of these sac-religious hillbillies raised with the swine

No remorse in their souls and their heart is pitch black

Thirsty for the blood hound murdered contact

Feasting on the brain of the ones they call sinners'

Cousin Cletus in the kitchen carvin torsos for dinner

In the barn, on the meathooks, bodies are hanging

In the cellar by a chain more bodies are swingin'

And in the field lies a scene from an old parkin lot

Abandoned for so many years cars left to rot

And buried in the garden in a hole dug deep

All the bones and the belongings all piled in a heap

Ungodly sounds of torture echo through the trees

The screams suffering still blowing in the breeze

Not on any map undiscovered never surveyed

Secrets of a small town kept locked away
