Serpent At The Gates Of Wisdom Lyrics - Hitchcock Robyn

Serpent at the gates of wisdom 

Curling round a tree 

With your eyes so dark and empty 

Looking straight through me 

How did you get so unwinding? 

Do you know my sins? 

When you're so close to the answer 

Why don't you go in? 

Serpent at the gates of wisdom 

Who did you deceive? 

She was weak, but that's no reason 

For what you did to Eve 

You're a fool-you broke the stillness 

She gave birth to desire 

Rolling down the frozen highway 

Like a burning tyre 

Serpent at the gates of wisdom 

Where do you belong? 

Wisdom cannot be transmitted 

It keeps you hanging on 

Do you really serve the Devil 

If it's all God's plan? 

Good and evil need each other 

Honey I'm your man 

Serpent at the gates of wisdom 

Like a purple scar 

Leering at me round the dashboard 

As I reach my car 

I close the door, I start the engine 

And I will take control 

God above, and all his angels, have mercy on your soul
