Kachana - Vipera Aspis Lyrics

Armies of Egypt and legions of Rome
Screaming the terror of war
Burning their cities and raping their kin
With only desire for more

She's watching from distance, she's biding her time
Playing them all with her eyes
The lure of her body, the spring of her trap
The seduction and then
The demise

Oh, kill them slow
Take them down to death on the Nile
Cos you feed nations' greed
Men will fall for your flesh and your smile
When you drain their blood
Strip them of their power
Choke their hearts on your poison wine
Play your game, taste the pain
Now the world won't forget your name

Shrouded in mystery and dangerous man
He wanted an emperor's life
Fleeing from Caesar she left him to face
The traitor, the Ides
And the knife

She'll sink in her fangs and she'll swallow them whole
The general becoming the pawn
For Anthony's pleasure she lay on her back
There was blood on her hands by the dawn

Screaming and naked and bleeding inside
An emperor dead at her feet
Enemies closing and nowhere to hide
No longer time to retreat

Clinging to life and determined to die
She summons the demon awake
Embracing the agony into her breast
Deliver the fangs of the snake

Oh, kill them slow
Take them down to death on the Nile
Cos you feed nations' greed
Men will fall for your flesh and your smile
When you drain their blood
Strip them of their power
Choke their hearts on your poison wine
Play your game, taste the pain
Now the world won't forget your name
