[Verse 1]
Boot dust on a backroad
Old stars cut through the dark
Tattooed tail on my shoulder
Flicks like a living spark
I was born where the wild runs crooked
Under signs they tried to hide
Ophiuchus in the shadows
But my fire never dies
[Chorus]
I'm the snake bearer
Wildfire glare
Venom in my veins but I still care
I handle snakes like a charmer
I shoot a bow like the master archer
For hundreds of years
I've walked this wire
Ophiuchus soul with Sagittarius fire
[Verse 2]
Cold eyes in the tall grass
Forked tongue tasting sin
Every fear that you buried
I wrap it
Drag it in
Draw back that old yew handle
Feathered tail
Steady breath
Let the night hold still a heartbeat
Then let it fly at death
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Two signs on a worn-out jacket
One hand steady
One hand wild
One heel on the rattling rattle
One heart like a restless child
I ain't looking for a savior
Just a road and a restless sky
Put the serpent on my shoulders
Let the arrow testify
[Chorus]
