- THE PARADISAL SERPENT -



There's a mystery around you
Like a wraith in the night
Wrapped in lace, a burial shroud
Speaking in tongues
Long since thought lost to dementia

Lady, you can taste my flesh
And eat whatever's left

Nailed down and confined
Raised to be crucified

I am the beast inside
Something you cannot deny

Devil will be mine
The truth behind those eyes

Wolf in your paradigm
The serpent in paradise

There's a violence about you
Cannot escape your chain
The lash peels the skin on my back
Cursing your name
Live fantasies lost in dementia

Lady, you can kiss my flesh
And kill whatever's left

Nailed down and confined
Raised to be crucified

I am the beast inside
Something you cannot deny

Devil will be mine
The truth behind those eyes

Wolf in your paradigm
The serpent in paradise

As you walk the garden
You will find a serpent
Infecting the desire
With an apple

YOU ARE FUCKING MINE

Nailed down and confined
Raised to be crucified

I am the beast inside
Something you cannot deny

Devil will be mine
The truth behind those eyes

Wolf in your paradigm
The serpent in paradise

Sup from the forbidden fruit
Just let the juice flow
The sweetness has
A single price
Your soul
Belongs
To me
Now
