The Snake-Eyed and the Venomous Lyrics
They see me there
Their eyes are everywhere
Sniffing at the linen for the dirt
I feel their burning stare
That hate will later flare
And writhe upon their women full of hurt
Lace magic ink with venom, critics
Milked from infant teeth
Though scathing blows are so arthritic
When they're set on slow repeat
They know I care
Smell storm clouds in the air
Hissing at the bit above my heart
But though I dare
The dyed black route of splitting hairs
I favour not to tempt the poisoned apple cart
I feel two needles rising
Snake eyes are hypnotising
I know they seethe, despising
All that we possess
I feel two needles rising
The truth is always blinding
Their lies, unappetising
Toxins to digest
They breed nightmares
Dark horses of despair
Taking twisted courses in the art
And were I there
To bet my bones on grave affairs
I'd have their guts for garters from the start
I feel two needles rising
Snake eyes are hypnotising
I know they seethe, despising
All that we possess
I feel two needles rising
The truth is always blinding
Their lies, unappetising
Toxins to digest
It's not without hate to crawl flat in the filth
As other less basilisks fly
And brothers are clasped to the breasts of a sylph
As their royal loves slither to die
So shedding dead skin, working true colours loose
Renewing the red in their eyes
They coil like sin within thinning excuse
Cold-blooded to sharpen the lies
Uncivil serpents, race deceivers
Disfigureheads varnished with fevers
Snake-house creepers in our dreams
Of Eden, flee before we mean
To throw the worms out with the waters
Rife with hated spawn
And set a sword to whirl and slaughter
All vipers at the gates of dawn
Their eyes are everywhere
Sniffing at the linen for the dirt
I feel their burning stare
That hate will later flare
And writhe upon their women full of hurt
Milked from infant teeth
Though scathing blows are so arthritic
When they're set on slow repeat
Smell storm clouds in the air
Hissing at the bit above my heart
But though I dare
The dyed black route of splitting hairs
I favour not to tempt the poisoned apple cart
Snake eyes are hypnotising
I know they seethe, despising
All that we possess
The truth is always blinding
Their lies, unappetising
Toxins to digest
Dark horses of despair
Taking twisted courses in the art
And were I there
To bet my bones on grave affairs
I'd have their guts for garters from the start
Snake eyes are hypnotising
I know they seethe, despising
All that we possess
The truth is always blinding
Their lies, unappetising
Toxins to digest
As other less basilisks fly
And brothers are clasped to the breasts of a sylph
As their royal loves slither to die
So shedding dead skin, working true colours loose
Renewing the red in their eyes
They coil like sin within thinning excuse
Cold-blooded to sharpen the lies
Disfigureheads varnished with fevers
Snake-house creepers in our dreams
Of Eden, flee before we mean
To throw the worms out with the waters
Rife with hated spawn
And set a sword to whirl and slaughter
All vipers at the gates of dawn

'The Snake-Eyed And The Venomous' is sort of an anti-critic song. It's metaphorical. -dani filth in BW&BK magazine

This song is about Dani Filth's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Filth. As a child living in suburban Maryland, Mr. and Mrs. Filth would literally do the things described in this song. There is no metaphore here. And Danny often says what they did had a huge effect on the way he applies his make up and the particular style of eyeliner design he uses.

i think "the two needles rising" refer to the teeth of snake!!
wombo2! you sound logical when look at the lyrics! But do you know what Dani's parents exactly did Dani?
Yeah, they poked him with needles and bred his nightmares and blinded him wit truth and would dye his natural blonde, curly, lucious, bouncy hair midnight black at midnight every 2 weeks to his chagrin.
Phahaha What the hell are you talking about wombo2?
None of that is true
You're a twat
