Snakes Behind the Sacred

[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, shadows whisper truths
Secrets hiding behind sacred vows

[Verse 1]
I saw the serpent’s sly disguise, a gentle hiss beneath the lies
In the temple of their words, a venom that divides and blinds
Love turned into a game, a chase for what’s not yours to claim
Leaving scars where trust once lay, pain that lingers, won’t fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
How can you claim to love, then tear my world apart?
To steal what’s held so close, and not feel a single heart
The calm facade you wear, hides a cold, forsaken core
Always seeking what’s not yours, always wanting more

[Chorus]
Snakes in the garden, they slither and deceive
Their words like poison, making us believe
That love is a game, and heartbreak is just pain
But I’ll rise above, break free from their chains

[Bridge]
Behind the sacred, there’s a lie, a betrayal dressed in truth
How do you sleep at night, knowing you’ve lost the proof?
Of what it means to truly care, to stand honest and fair
Now I see through your mask, I’m shedding all the dare

[Outro]
No more hiding behind the sacred word
I’ll find my peace, though it sounds absurd
Snakes may come disguised, but I’ll recognize their hue
And walk away from the poison, to find what’s pure and true
