Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Prisoners of the venom master
Guilty for what you've been charged
Sit in cells, condemned to face
The deadly snap of their jaws
[Verse 2]
Terror stricken, you lie and wait
In the final hour
Knowing of your wretched fate
And the serpent's power
[Verse 3]
First strike is deadly
[Verse 4]
The evil path that you must take
Is filled with the slither of snakes
Their hiding and waiting for the time to lunge
For your flesh and your fate
[Verse 5]
No one escapes or comes out alive
The snakes, they will never lose
For if they hit you just one time
You have just faced your doom
[Verse 6]
First strike is deadly
[Verse 7]
Go
[Verse 8]
Deadly strike
Bred to kill
The venom howlin' in your veins
Psychotic spell
A gift from Hell
The sound of a deadly league remains
