Crown Of Thorns - The Serpent Garden lyrics

[Music: M. Tervonen. Lyrics: M. Olsfelt/M. Tervonen] A distant place - Where once we all lived like slaves Stolen of our mind and thoughts we were left there naked - Living dead Forbidden need - To taste the fruits of the knowledge tree Serving on our knees we will as long as we're not breaking free The Serpent temptates our souls: - Free yourselves from the chains of God, Eat this my gift and be your own lords! Release of what lies entombed: The divine wisdom in all of us no longer a secret to ourselves Every day is like the day the ungodly touched my soul to say: - Defeat the Dog who's crushing all your needs! Every day you see my pain and turn your other cheek away The tears I shed - Will not to be unsaid! Wonam and Man - Driven out from the sacred orchards Just like Lucifer - The fallen one, was cast out of heaven high The Serpent garden - Is the covenant between us Together forever in an unholy war against the almighty tyrant of enslavement The Serpent has saved our souls Freed us from the hains of God and given us gifts for us to be our own lords Punished by flood and plagues Brought upon us in envy of God from what we have become now Christian slaves want to erase their mind Longing back to the "heaven" of mental hell They praise the tyrant every night and day They despise the Serpent, freedom of souls and us the unholy ones Who are not born to follow any law but our will and desire The Serpent - Glittering black Bites a hole in my soul and creawls insie Knowledge - Unleashed in me - Try to find the ungodly in you God Dog! - Confront me now And face the pain that I will spit on your light d**hbound - Is what we are - I close my eyes now I dream of hell The Serpent words are calling - It's blood still "poison" me My Serpent words are calling And your paradise is falling - Down! [Lead: M. Sunesson] The Serpent temptates our souls: - Free yourselves from the chains of God, eat this my gift and be your own lords! Release of what lies entombed: The divine wisdom in all of us no longer a secret to ourselves Every day is like the day the ungodly touched my soul to say: - Defeat the Dog who's crushing all your needs! Every day you see my pain and turn your other cheek away Of fire reborn in the Serpent garden To be free from God's grasp.
