Serpent Tongue Lyrics - Damnation And A Day - Cradle Of Filth

So adept was unspoken man 

At dusting ledgers of the seraphim 

That Lilith swept across the broken land 

In a whirl of lust to pleasure him 

This bland Adam, a reaper of the sun 

In bone dry season, for Eve was busy sucking thumbs 

Pricked in rosy gardens as he spattered into shells 

And ran with morning fauna, his mastiffs and gazelle 

Breathless as the wind, Adam, prowled, fell foul to sin 

But not before she spread her grin, across his silent lips 

At crack of day, though what was shame? 

The raptor's nest wherein they lay 

Bore witness to her soft parade of fingers come to grips

His undivine attention won she deftly spun 

From 'neath his thrusts to writhe above in ecstasy 

Pendulous she swung as if her limbs imbibed his tongue 

To spill, as with his rod, the secret name of God 

But no seed passed those fruitful lips 

(Serpent tongue) 

For fearing her who grasped, he slit 

(Serpent tongue) 

Her throat from ear to where she fled 

(Serpent tongue) 

With tail and blood between her legs 

Paradise, paradise, paradise 

So very kept was the virgin hand 

That brushed the treasures of Utopia 

And how the greed swept across the desert sands 

In late August just to measure her

This hallowed Eve, a creature of the moon 

A simple dish born with a silver spoon 

Giddy sniffing orchids that opened after dusk 

Incubus and prudence, two such swoon to touch her 

Restless as the skies, temptation, bloomed, found room to rise 

And snatching breaths between her thighs, he crawled to Eve 

At dead of night, the sticky clime, smelt perfect to this serpentine 

This shining angel palled in mysteries 

Her undivine attention won he deftly spun 

A web of for the one great sacred tree 

Bejeweled and lit as if a thousand shades did flit 

About boughs of forbidden lore, hidden for the want of more 

And when seeds passed those fruitful lips 

(Serpent tongue) 

And mankind basked in vast eclipse 

(Serpent tongue) 

A devil shot of thin disguise 

(Serpent tongue) 

Surmised to better paradise 

It's paradise, paradise, paradise 

Paradise, paradise, paradise
