Virgin Steele - Coils Of The Serpent lyrics

[Music, lyrics and effects: De Feis]

[The Serpent to Himself:]

"Anger, fury and hatred boil within me.

Woe to see them enjoy this Paradise, while I'm resigned to hell!!

My cunning will prevail and doubt shall be their undoing!"

[The Serpent to Eve:]

"What reason, what fear provokes this ban?

Knowledge forbidden?

Why envy you this?

Is it a sin to know, can it be death to taste?

Is ignorance your creator's wish for you,

or is blind obedience a proof of your faith?!...

Take from the tree this golden fruit, be one with the gods!

I tell you this freely with love in my heart.

Come your beauty has earned this..."
