Serpent's Kiss Lyrics - Virgin Steele

[The Serpent to Adam and Eve:] 

"If Heaven is higher and death is a dream 

Cast away virtue it's not what it seems 

In whiteness descending the souls steals a star 

Creates a new Heaven in sin where you are" 

[The Serpent to Cain:] 

"Sons of Cain, agonize, bring forth then die 

Your children will multiply- tear Heaven down... 

With a Serpent's kiss, with a Serpent's kiss..." 

[The Serpent to Eve (in turn, Eve to Adam):] 

"Black superstition, denied by your sire 

The golden elixir- Promethean fire 

Quick is unguarded delight in its taste 

Indulge in your passion, be quick, make haste." 

[The Serpent to Mankind:] 

"Sons of pain, agonize, bring forth then die 

Your sorrows will multiply and you shall share my fall..." 

[Voice of Adam:] 

"Eve we were mistaken to listen to his words 

Black heart and false fatal guile 

Now judgement is swift, his wrath is profound 

Eden is lost to us now 

Driven to wander in sorrow and shame 

Immortal no longer we blame you!!!" 

[The Serpent's reply:] 

"Bastards, forsaken cast from his grace 

Bask in the light of my fall 

Now suffer and weep, my hatred runs deep 

The jaws of regret smite you all 

From out of the mire, the filth and the fire 

My legions, my furies unbound!!! 

I'm no longer waiting, my eyes are not blind 

My arrows streaming, carve a path through the light" 

[Voice of God:] 

"Now you listen, now you learn of fathomless night 

Cast down in wrath, cast down in flame, olympian might 

Chained to Earth, my kongdom comes first 

Down with you, into the fire!!" 

[The Serpent's reply:] 

"Wailing, screaming, roaring loud, my reign begins 

'Tis better to rule than merely to serve 

My hate will bring down Elysian stones... Taste the Serpent's Kiss.... 

The Serpent's Kiss...." 

[The Serpent's to himself:] 

"If Heaven is higher and death is a dream 

Cast away virtue it's not what it seems 

In whiteness descending the soul steals a star 

Creates a new Heaven in sin where you are" 

[The Serpent to Cain:] 

"Sons of Cain, agonize, bring forth then die 

Scale the walls of heaven now, and bring God to his knees 

With a Serpent's kiss, Serpent's kiss... Serpent's kiss.. 

God shall share my fall!!!"
