The Serpent

The Serpent - Genesis

Composed by：Anthony Banks/Anthony Phillips/Michael Rutherford/Peter Gabriel

Dark night planets are set

Creator prepares for the dawn of man

You're waking up the day of incarnation

Said you're waking up to life

Images he made to love

Images of gods in flesh

Man is wonderful very wonderful

Look at him

Beware the future

Here is my world and it's waiting for me

Paradise before my eyes

I am alive in a new born world

This heaven will always be mine

I'm waking up the day of man has come

I'm waking up the day of man has come

And God created man from dust

With a soul inside his mould

And God created womankind

The vessel of Satan's hold

Creator made the serpent wise

Evil in his tempting eyes

Man is wonderful very wonderful

Look at him

Beware the future

Here is my world and it's waiting for me

Paradise before my eyes

I am alive in a new born world

This heaven will always be mine

I'm waking up the day of man has come

I'm waking up the day of man has come

Dark night planets are set

Creator prepares for the dawn of man

You're waking up the day of incarnation

Said you're waking up to life

Here I stand a child in a lonely world oh no

Watch the serpent tempting me to evil

The guiding hand will help me on

The guiding hand will help me on

The guiding hand will help me on

The guiding hand
