A serpent crawls in the ashes
Symbolic description of a serpent moving in the aftermath
In the remains of human misery
The serpent navigates through the remnants of human suffering
Awake but sleeping in the hour of disgust
Being awake but indifferent during times of disgust
Behind bars your mind is free
Despite confinement, one's mind is liberated
Sleeping-pills of wormwood
Reference to sleeping pills made from wormwood
Taken by mother insane - but
A mentally unstable mother taking wormwood pills
Life goes on - life goes on
Life continues despite challenges
Towards death in the fast line
Life's journey leading towards death rapidly
Genocide, no more lies
Rejection of falsehoods, advocating for genocide
The modern man is a freak
Characterization of the modern man as abnormal
Shut your eyes, suicide
Suggesting shutting one's eyes to avoid reality, contemplating suicide
The serpent laughs as we speak
The serpent finds amusement in human communication

Come and join us in the reptile dance
Invitation to participate in a dance associated with reptiles
Dance with me and the devil - we
Inviting the devil to dance together, acknowledging past mistakes
Fucked it up - fucked it up
Recognition of past errors and a commitment to continue making them
And we'll keep fucking it up as we
Acknowledgment that mistakes will persist as they level or advance
Level
A mention of leveling, possibly referring to achieving a state
