[Verse 1]
I signed my name in ash
Under a velvet grin
They fed me gold and promises
Then locked the cold thing in
A ring with a black-green stone
A kiss that tasted thin
Now every door I tried to close
Would open once again
[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the masks come off
I saw the hallway glow
One truth can burn a kingdom down
And everybody knows
[Chorus]
Glass serpent, let me go
(Glass serpent, let me go)
I won't bow, I won't sell my soul
(Oh, I won't sell my soul)
You drink fear, I spit fire
You want silence, I get louder
Glass serpent, let me go
(Glass serpent, let me go)
[Verse 2]
They whispered of the hidden rooms
Of velvet, smoke, and sin
Of kids with bruised-out futures
And a thousand eyes within
They called it "just a fairytale"
But I saw the ceiling crack
I filmed the hands behind the curtain
And they wanted it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every phone goes dark
When I say the names aloud
But shadows hate a fearless tongue
When it stands up in a crowd
[Chorus]
Glass serpent, let me go
(Glass serpent, let me go)
I won't bow, I won't sell my soul
(Oh, I won't sell my soul)
You drink fear, I spit fire
You want silence, I get louder
Glass serpent, let me go
(Glass serpent, let me go)
[Bridge]
If I go missing, know the reason
I broke the mirror line
I pulled the thread, I said the things
That lived too long inside
Let them come with their false vows
Let them come with their gold
I found the cost of telling truth
Was paying with my soul
[Final Chorus]
Glass serpent, let me go
(Glass serpent, let me go)
I won't bow, I won't sell my soul
(Oh, I won't sell my soul)
You drink fear, I spit fire
You want silence, I get louder
Glass serpent, let me go
(Glass serpent, let me go)
