Reptiles of the Mind.

"Reptiles of the Mind" is a song by printer, mystic, and songwriter William Blake about the idea that "The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Before our lives were through?

Reptiles of the mind exchanging hisses
Signals friend and foe, all death and kisses ...
