Serpents in Paradise Lyrics

 

Reading the madness

They took her away under the cross

Bailiff and bishop and monk

Malleus Maleficarum the law

 

Prayed for salvation

I fought for her soul scared by the horn

The devil was creeping around

Until she died in the flames as he saw

Father forgive me

 

For I've hardly seen the human deep within

 

Oh just an intention so holy and clear

 

Paving the way to madness for us

Serpents on the way to paradise

Dying for love fighting for ages

Serpents on their way to paradise

Raging with anger and pain for the cross

 

Father forgive me for what I have done

For I betrayed the one that I loved like a son

Demons and spells are they reality

The pest and the schism the power of the Moor

We've got to fight keep our people afraid

 

Keep them away from what they shall not see

 

I see a menace to our paradise in these evil times

 

Heaven is burning people are yearning

 

For a new doctrine they are

Serpents on the way to paradise

Don't know they'll end in final damnation

Serpents on the way to paradise yeah

Raging with anger and pain against the cross

 

Lord if I'm an unbeliever what do I believe

Can you tell me lord

What You have done if You were me

 

I have stared into the eyes

Of innocence and fear

I saw Anna in the tower in a lake of tears

Something strange is going on

And still I don't know why

I have stared into the secrets they still try to hide

 

Vandroiy can you tell me what you know about it all

Vandroiy can you help me to leave this prison hall

And Vandroiy

Can you help me free Anna from the chain

Vandroiy

Can you help me to become a little sane

 

Serpents on the way to paradise

Dying for love fighting for ages

Serpents on their way to paradise

 

Raging with anger and pain

 

Serpents on the way to paradise

 

Dying for love fighting for ages

Serpents on their way to paradise

 

 

Raging with anger and pain
