VILT - The Serpent
Swedish melodic death metal band VILT is pushing the boundaries of the Scandinavian sound to new heights.
"The Serpent" is a melodic death metal song built around a powerful metaphor. It tells the story of a defeated man cursed with eternal life, endlessly searching for redemption and revenge. As centuries pass, he grows weary, longing only to see his family again when the end of time comes. Beneath the brutal and emotional surface, the song carries a deeper message about letting go—releasing the pain, anger, and burdens that keep us from moving forward.

►Lyrics:
THE SERPENT
On your knees with a broken shield
And the sword lies shattered
With terrible might, your foe risen for the final strike
Hold your soul with your feeble hands
Arms stretched to open skies
Take me home to open fields where I want to die
Longing for a worthy death
I will fight
Meet me at the end of time
On the river that flows beyond
The Serpent with jaded eyes
Have grown tired of unending life
Became immortal, cursed was my name
Never to rest, never smiling again
Purpose in bloodshed, dealing in death
Heavy lies the burden for the ones with the mark on their chest
In paradise where you hold my hand
I’ve been led astray, deep into the dark
With one eye left, unworthy of death
Until we meet again my brethren and kin
I wept for you
For you
Meet me at the end of time
On the river that flows beyond
The Serpent with jaded eyes
Have grown tired of unending life
