"Mamlambo" lyrics

Seven heads, a serpent born, for the purpose of blood and scorn
A curse, rotting in my vein, venom drips from seven tongues
A presence fills the air, a burden I can't bear
Dressed in blackened scales
The brain eater, Mamlambo

Urgh
This gift given birth by burden
The bones have now determined
The direction of my intentions (Intentions)
Divination
Passed down through past generations
A magnitude of thoughts and symbols forced into my head

Sizobona ngamathambo
Qapelani umamlambo
Initiation into the madness
A trial of shadows

Trapped in the serpent's embrace
Sacred divinity
Ancient being
Abominable snake

The lamb, given the knife, the sheep now sacrificed
The abuser chosen for this malevolent deed
An internal agony, its burden weighs on me
A decision must be made to please the baneful

Seven heads, a serpent born, for the purpose of blood and scorn
A curse, rotting in my vein, venom drips from seven tongues
A presence fills the air, a burden I can't bear
Dressed in blackened scales
The brain eater, Mamlambo

The seven headed serpent
The seven headed snake
I offer you my father
And I have sealed my fate

Sizobona ngamathambo
Qapelani umamlambo
Initiation into the madness
A trial of shadows

In my weakened state, the bones have seen proof of my regret
The sins committed have transcended my arrogance, my write to power
Before long, the serpent picks up the scent of unbridled cowardice
Unrivaled in malignancy, it sinks its teeth into my soul, it eats me whole

Seven heads, a serpent born, for the purpose of blood and scorn
A curse, rotting in my vein, venom drips from seven tongues
A presence fills the air, a burden I can't bear
Dressed in blackened scales
The brain eater has
Seven heads, a serpent born, for the purpose of blood and scorn
A curse, rotting in my vein, venom drips from seven tongues
A presence fills the air, a burden I can't bear
Dressed in blackened scales
The brain eater, Mamlambo
