Serpents In Paradise

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 horned, 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 the 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 had 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?
And Vandroiy, can you help me to become a little sane?

Serpents on the way to paradise
Dying for love, fighting for ages
Serpents on the way to paradise
Raging with anger and pain

Serpents on the way to paradise
Dying for love, fighting for ages
Serpents on the way to paradise
Raging with anger and pain
