"Tread the Serpent" is a furious anthem about betrayal, confronting the backstabbers and toxic people who inevitably cross our paths. Written later than most of the album, the track immediately stood out and quickly became a single thanks to its relentless energy and defiant message.

Lyrically, it's about refusing to be broken by those who undermine you, meeting deception head-on and taking a stand against the "snakes" that appear throughout life. The track is elevated by a powerful guest appearance from Tony Dolan (Venom Inc), whose unmistakable presence and ruthless delivery bring an extra layer of authority and intensity. What began as a collaboration quickly became a highlight of the record, with Tony's contribution perfectly embodying the song's themes of resilience, loyalty, and overcoming betrayal.
