Shadow of the Snake

Music by: Blues Funeral
Lyrics by: Maurice Eggenschwiler

The night is black with untold secrets
But the light on the hill is growing
Dark veils shuffle forth
Beneath the full moon glowing

Mount a cross in shallow earth
Wreathed between trees swaying
A gesture of cosmic deference
But not a moment for praying

Farewell my sanity
Your tears are just a forgery
These winds recall a memory
Of a time addled fallacy (yeah)

Thirty pieces of tainted silver
And a kiss for old time’s sake
Abandon reason in favor of treason
In the shadow of the Snake

A glass of absinthe to clear my head
False visions green and enticing
Devils summon me with Gabriel’s horn
Frozen valley arising

Deprived of all vitality
Your siren call, pure sophistry
A rising tide of malady
Descending on the revelry (yeah)

(Guitar Lead – Eggenschwiler)

(Organ Lead – Kimmel)

about

Blues Funeral Houston, Texas

Following a temporary hiatus for Sanctus Bellum in November of 2014, Sanctus Bellum members, Jan Kimmel, Cory Cousins, and Maurice
Eggenschwiler immediately formed Blues Funeral
recruiting Gabe Katz on bass, and spent the next several
months writing.
This has culminated into a diverse array of proto-metal
and progressive rock very much steeped in a vision of the music from the 60’s and 70’s.
