The Raven & The Snake
from Narcotics & Animal Instincts by Voices In Vain
lyrics
Betrayed by those I love
Another mouse for the snakes to eat
Squirming, slithering, conniving beasts
You won't be laughing when your life has ceased
This world is full of vile, venomous creeps
The kind to rob you all alone in the streets
Cowards parade around erroneously
A sick smile hides sanctimoniously
How could I've been so fucking blind
I've been two timed, fueled by lies from the start
Fake love, your crime, despised disguise,
Defeated enemy, you will face your downfall of reverence.
Betrayed benevolence
I hope you'll feel the blade as it pierces your skin
I'd die to hear your screams
(Over and over again)
You created this mess you're in
(Over and over again)
Now sit back, take your medicine
Behold I am the Raven
I am the one that devours snakes
Worthless, withering, dying beast
Your body breaks while I have my feast
My hunger has grown insatiable
Like a shipwreck left unsalvageable
All alone and in an unforgiving world
I will never look at myself the same,
Too delicate, she breaks,
Murdered without a trace,
I am the beast you created
Now you're lying with a caved in head
A message hidden underneath my bed
I load a handgun with an ounce of lead
Put the barrel to my mouth
All I wanted was your loyalty,
This ends with the death of you and me
Another mouse for the snakes to eat
Squirming, slithering, conniving beasts
You won't be laughing when your life has ceased
This world is full of vile, venomous creeps
The kind to rob you all alone in the streets
Cowards parade around erroneously
A sick smile hides sanctimoniously
How could I've been so fucking blind
I've been two timed, fueled by lies from the start
Fake love, your crime, despised disguise,
Defeated enemy, you will face your downfall of reverence.
Betrayed benevolence
I hope you'll feel the blade as it pierces your skin
I'd die to hear your screams
(Over and over again)
You created this mess you're in
(Over and over again)
Now sit back, take your medicine
Behold I am the Raven
I am the one that devours snakes
Worthless, withering, dying beast
Your body breaks while I have my feast
My hunger has grown insatiable
Like a shipwreck left unsalvageable
All alone and in an unforgiving world
I will never look at myself the same,
Too delicate, she breaks,
Murdered without a trace,
I am the beast you created
Now you're lying with a caved in head
A message hidden underneath my bed
I load a handgun with an ounce of lead
Put the barrel to my mouth
All I wanted was your loyalty,
This ends with the death of you and me

I didn't realize how great Beastmaker were until I put this in and really gave it a good listen. Man, if anyone ever sounded like the mighty Black Sabbath it's these guys and that's a major compliment! Sabbath made me the metalhead I am today. So super happy to discover these guys. Guitar tone is heavy as shit and the singer has that creepy Ozzy sound that's perfect for this music. Beastmaker are the classic Sabbath sound circa 1970. I play this all the time.

This is an immersive introduction to a posse of rough riders that might just surprise you with the way they throw together doom metal, post-rock, and slide guitars.

I'm sad to see this era of Beastmaker close out but this is a phenomenal way to do! Black Butterfly might be the best thing they've ever done.
