i think the lyrics are kindof in a sarcastic tone. he's explaining how people who lie ("speak with serpent tongues") will get what they deserve, suffer if you will. ("fall through the ice and drown") not only that, but he's explaining how this particular person doesn't get a second chance or forgiveness. this person keeps lying and it completely changes how he feels about them and who they are as a person ("destroy my opinion of you and your self worth with just one single word..no")
i love this song.
