The final track in my Debut EP y'all!! It's finally all out!! thank you so much for all your support whilst I released this body of work, I am so humbled and blown away with the response thank you thank you THANK YOU!

This song is about people that present as angels and seem to charm everyone around them but have a real nasty streak and tend to bring down others to bolster themselves and how those people will eventually fall off their pedestals. Its also about misogynists tee hee

Lyrics:

Baby can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling'
Baby can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling'
Baby can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling'
Baby can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling'

Painted grin and confidence so willing to spar
You walk round like you own the place, I know who you are

Have to be the best at everything that you do
I'd recognise you anywhere it's clear from my view

So omniscient
All around you are fools
Blinded by your pride your swallowed up by your rule

Head of your pack
Your making everyone bow
It's biblical the way I see this story play out

A Serpent
A Reptile
It's clear as day I see the snake through the smile
The likeness
Uncanny
Your scales are shining out there for miles
Better be careful how
You go about this now
Forgiveness isn't how you're renowned

I'd watch your back is all
That ledge is pretty tall
And you're looking quite a bit like
The Devil 'fore the fall

Baby can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling'
Baby can't you see the wind has changed and you'll be falling'

Beneath your feet is holy ground for us all to kiss
But watch your step or you'll descend into a power trip

Make yourself big by making them all feel small
And for the longest time you made me the smallest of all

I won't move a muscle
You won't answer to me
When Reckoning arrives
You can beg on you knees

You rule absolute
But absolute will rule you
A king of lavish lack,
Sovereign of fewer and few

A Serpent
A Reptile
It's clear as day I see the snake through the smile
The likeness
Uncanny
Your scales are shining out there for miles
Better be careful how
You go about this now
Forgiveness isn't how you're renowned

I'd watch your back is all
That ledge is pretty tall
And you're looking quite a bit like
The Devil 'fore the fall

The Devil 'fore the fall
The Devil 'fore the fall
The Devil 'fore the fall
The Devil

Midas touch
Seems a rush
Until you starve to death
Weakness you won't expose
But Emperor you wear no clothes

Bring down
Sweet Eve
You'll make a goddess small
Piously scrambling
To finally feel tall

Are you prepared to face off with the divine
Do you have any clue who it is you undermine?

You'll meet your maker with the words that you say.
There's a chill in the air better wrap up warm for judgement day

I am the thief in the night
I am the poems they write
I am the one that you had better keep within your sight

I am the watcher that waits
I am the server of fate
I am the prowler waiting patient as you fall for the bait

A Serpent
A Reptile
Why so sad? sweetheart let's see a smile
The likeness
Uncanny
Call the mobs it's time for a trial
Better be careful how
You go about this now
Forgiveness isn't how you're renowned

I'd watch your back is all
That ledge is pretty tall
And you're looking like
The Devil 'fore the fall
