The Serpent

All knowing
All seeing
All is forgiven.

So negative
So wrong
So much for freedom.

Made a slave in His likeness
Forced out of my home
The garden blooms insanity
Fruit bearing, all is just.

Made to lie down on my belly
Slithering from place to place
Sand is rough and yet smooth
Life could be better, life in hell.

Taken my arms and legs away
Rolling down heaven's fallen hillside
Rocks are thrown as I'm cast out
Living life's edge in the agonizing gray.

Cast out and down
To the very depths
Hell's my domain
Watch the sinners drown.

Cast aside and asunder
Religious stranglehold
The inferno burns here
Watch the sinners plunder.

An angel of hell - All knowing
Blind angel of hate - All seeing
Treacherous angel of fate - All is forgiven.

A man in sheep's clothes - So negative
A man preaching God - So wrong
Deciphel man gives a nod - So much for freedom.
