salvation on sand hill lyrics

I wasn't worried
I walked into the room
I saw the serpent's shadow
Against the silver moon

They said as long as you believe
You'll be alright
And I wasn't worried
'Till I saw one bite
You could touch, you could feel
You could smell them all through the night
But as long as you believe, you're gonna be alright
Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I didn't worry, when I caught the spell
I saw the eyes, saw the teeth, beads of sweat
Think I'd gone to hell

They said as long as you believe
A snake won't bite
Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I've gotta tell you
Power over snakes
Sure makes me feel so different
From a cane break

And just as long as you believe
A snake won't bite, yeah
Taking up serpents can take your life
They stuck my hand down in there without a bite
Just as long as you believe, boy
You'll be alright
I should be running, running for my life

Yeeeeh uh
Oh I didn't tell you
About the one that got bit
On the face, on the arms
Between the legs, on the back of the neck
Uh
You see, he didn't believe
The boy didn't believe
I said he didn't believe
He didn't believe

And just as long as you believe, a snake won't bite
Uh
So I didn't worry 'cause the snake won't bite
The snake won't bite
The snake won't bite
