Ye Serpent of Olde (Re-Release)

Serpent whispers in my ear
"Eat of this, ye shall not die"
Desire seduces ignorance
With cravings for a lustful eye
Feasting in sin's deceit
Deathly morsels to eat
Lies! Ye serpent of old
The blood covers o'er my soul

Serpent whispers in my ear
"Eat of this, for no one sees"
Devil in the wilderness
Tempts my weakness with secrecy
Slavery's obedience to sin
Yielding unto death
Lies! Ye serpent of old
The blood covers o'er my soul

The devil dances with my iniquity
Romances temptation and courts carnality
Resist the devil and he shall fee
Draw nigh to God
He draws nigh to thee

Lil' white lies lay
Crucified in that ole' way
Dead to sin, alive in Christ
Redemption through His sacrifice
Freedom's obedience to righteousness
Yielding life
Lord rebuke ye serpent of old!
The blood covers o'er my soul

The devil dances with my iniquity
Romances temptation and courts carnality
Resist the devil and he shall fee
Draw nigh to God
He draws nigh to thee
