Lyrics The Serpentine Offering - Live in Wacken - Dimmu Borgir

My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair

Evoked and entertained through centuries
Wrathful and sullen, dormant still

The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released, at last, hear my offering
You bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Alright, Wacken, I wanna fucking hear you sing
Hell yeah

My descent is thе story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness, and despair

Reconcile not with the fear of the snake
But embrace it as your own
Inject its venom into your veins
And replant the seed that gives growth

Still shrouded in mystery
Until you arise above perception
A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout generations

A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout multiple generations
Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit
And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature

The snake is notoriously tempting
But the snake is fair
What is worse than not knowing
To live or disappear?

The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last, hear my offering
You bastard sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Hear you sing, it's eruptions

Hell yeah
Fuck yeah, thank you so much
