lyrics

In the desert of the south lands
Where the mountains touch the sky
All hell well it surrounds us
We're only mortals born to die

Can't you see her with your eyes now
Can't you see her with your mind
Oh the viper she rules all
And she spoils all that is divine

And the viper she calls
The viper she hisses and holds her breath
Vengeance is second best
Poison is all that she holds true
And it's all she'll give to you

All have seen the viper
All have glimpsed her emerald eyes
And many think that they have mastered her
But they believe in only lies

See for the viper she is no fool
Oh no she plays now with the mind
Don't you fall for her cheap tricks
You know she turns good men blind

And the viper she calls
Anger, hatred, lust and jealousy
They mean so much to me
No don't you believe her lies
She's the devil in disguise

The viper she calls
Oh no but don't you hear the sound
She'll send you to the ground
