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."

Commentary

Reptiles of the mind exchanging falsehoods
Wandering through the night
What were the chances
We'd be making sense
Before our lives were through?

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