Serpents in Paradise (Live) [Recorded @ Wacken & Masters of Rock]

Reading the madness, they took her away under the cross
Bailiff and bishop and monk
Malleus Maleficarum, the law
I prayed for salvation, I fought for her soul
Scared by the horned
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
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
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 tell me how to leave this prison hall?
Vandroiy, can you help me free Anna from the chain?
Vandroiy, can you tell 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 against the cross

Thank you very much!

All right!
