About Reptile (The Church Cover):

Reptile is a song originally by The Church covered by Vampyrouss as the B-Side of the 2017 single "Gazing Upon The Harvest Moon". The song acted as a demonstration of the band focused rock-ier direction the band would take on their 3rd album which was in the process of being written at the time.


The song also appeared on the 2020 "Observations In Isolation" (somewhat live) EP performed solely by Vampyrouss vocalist Kazraine Maars and then similary along with the whole Vampyrouss back catalogue on the "Barely (A)Live Rehearsal" release in 2021.

Too dangerous to keep

Too feeble to let go

And you want to bite the hand

Should have stopped this long ago


Go now, you've been set free

Another month or so you'll be gorging on me

With your lovely smile


I see you slither away with your skin and your scales

Your flickering tongue and your rattling tail

Like a real reptile


Had you coiled around my arm

How could you ever know

How I loved your Autumnal eyes?

But that was long ago


Go now, you've been set free

Another month or so you'll be poisoning me

With your lovely smile


I see you slither away with your skin and your scales

Your flickering tongue and your rattling tail

Like a real reptile


And I should have believed Eve

When she said we had to go

She was the apple of my eye

It wasn't long ago
