[00:01.10] Serpents in Paradise
[00:04.30] by Fargea
[00:33.59] Reading the madness they took her away
[00:36.16] under the cross.
[00:39.02] Bailiff and bishop and monk -
[00:41.85] Malleus Maleficarum - the law
[00:45.38] Prayed for salvetion, I fought for her soul -
[00:46.96] scared by the horned.
[00:49.58] The devil was creeping around
[00:51.88] until she died in the flames as he saw.
[00:55.91] Father forgive me for I've hardly seen
[01:01.16] the human deep within. Just an intention -
[01:09.12] so holy and clear - paving the way to madness
[01:14.86] for us...
[01:16.32] Serpents on the way to paradise -
[01:21.05] dying for love, fighting for ages.
[01:26.05] Serpents on their way to paradise -
[01:31.49] raging with anger and pain for the cross.
[02:00.37] Father forgive me for what I have done.
[02:03.18] For I betrayed the one that I loved like a son.
[02:08.69] Demons and spells are they reality?
[02:11.74] The pest and the schism; the power of the Moor
[02:13.81] We've got to fight. Keep our people afraid...
[02:20.13] Keep them away from what they shall not see.
[02:24.19] I see a menace to our paradise
[02:28.18] in these evil times.
[02:33.36] Heaves is burning, people are yearning
[02:38.72] for a new doctrine, they are...
[02:42.98] Serpents on the way paradise.
[02:48.14] Don't know they'll end in final damnation.
[02:53.13] Serpents on the way to paradise...
[02:58.42] Raging with anger and pain against the cross.
[03:30.05] Lord if I'm an unbeliever - what do I believe?
[03:35.26] Can you tell me lord what you had done
[03:38.60] if you were me?
[03:40.98] I have stared into the eyes
[03:43.24] of innocence and fear.
[03:45.88] I saw Anna in the tower in a lake of tears.
[03:51.04] Something strange is going on and
[03:53.77] still I don't know why.
[03:56.41] I have stared into the secrets
[03:59.93] they still try to hide.
[04:11.93] Vandroiy can you tell me what you know about it all?
[04:17.16] Vandroiy can you help me
[04:19.71] to leave this prison hall?
[04:22.52] Vandroiy can you help me
[04:24.97] free Anna from the chain?
[04:27.64] Vandroiy can you help me
[04:30.86] to become a little sane?
[05:23.75] Serpents on the way to paradise -
[05:29.16] Dying for love, fighting for ages.
[05:33.93] Serpents on their way to paradise
[05:39.59] Raging with anger and pain...
[05:44.50] Serpents on the way to paradise -
[05:49.84] Dying for love, fighting for ages.
[05:54.97] Serpents on their way to paradise
[06:00.45] Raging with anger and pain...
