Black Mamba

There's a forest fire
Burnin' in the west
If I stare at it too long
I swear it burns just like a sunset
And that smoke
Grows black as coal
Swallows up the stars I know
Shape shifting shadow snakes
The ghosts of my own mistakes
Slither through the sky
Just like the memories through my mind
I haven't named which side I'm on

The die is cast!
The trap is laid!
The torch has passed
The fire's made!
The flame whips like the Devil's Peak
Black Mamba

The sallow sky seals your fate
And fills your lungs with
Shadow snakes
No one survives the bite
Of the Black Mamba
(Black Mamba!)
(Black Mamba!)

There's a forest fire
Burnin' in the east
If I listen close too long
I swear that I still hear
The screams
And that smoke
Grows black as coal
Swallows up the stars I know
Shape shifting shadow snakes
The ghosts of my own mistakes
When I was young and dumb
They told me "You are what you'll become"
But now I'm not
The creature I was

The die is cast!
The trap is laid!
The torch has passed
The fire's made!
The flame whips like the devil's peak
Black Mamba
The sallow sky seals your fate
Fills your lungs with shadow snakes
No one survives the bite
Of the Black Mamba
(Black Mamba!)
(Black Mamba!)

There's a forest fire
Burnin' in the north
If I dwell on it too long
I fear I'll find out what it's worth
We wear ash coats, white as snow
Swallows up the land I know
Shape shifting shadow snakes
The ghosts of my own mistakes

And all my friends are dead
They burned up in the flames they fled
But I got safe away
From what I started!

The die is cast
The trap is laid!
The torch has passed
The fire's made!
The flame whips like the devil's peak
Black Mamba
The sallow sky seals your fate
Fills your lungs with shadow snakes
No one survives the bite of the Black Mamba!
(Black Mamba!)
(Black Mamba!)
(Black Mamba!)
