Serpent Tongue Lyrics

Serpent Tongue lyrics

So adept was unspoken man

At dusting ledgers of the seraphim

That Lilith swept across the broken land

In a whirl of lust to pleasure him



This bland Adam, a reaper of the sun

In bone dry season, for Eve was busy sucking thumbs

Pricked in rosy gardens as he spattered into shells

And ran with morning fauna, his mastiffs and gazelle



Breathless as the wind, Adam, prowled, fell foul to sin

But not before she spread her grin, across his silent lips

At crack of day, though what was shame?

The raptor's nest wherein they lay

Bore witness to her soft parade of fingers come to grips



His undivine attention won she deftly spun

From 'neath his thrusts to writhe above in ecstasy

Pendulous she swung as if her limbs imbibed his tongue

To spill, as with his rod, the secret name of God



But no seed passed those fruitful lips

(Serpent tongue)

For fearing her who grasped, he slit

(Serpent tongue)

Her throat from ear to where she fled

(Serpent tongue)

With tail and blood between her legs



Paradise, paradise, paradise



So very kept was the virgin hand

That brushed the treasures of Utopia

And how the greed swept across the desert sands

In late August just to measure her



This hallowed Eve, a creature of the moon

A simple dish born with a silver spoon

Giddy sniffing orchids that opened after dusk

Incubus and prudence, two such swoon to touch her



Restless as the skies, temptation, bloomed, found room to rise

And snatching breaths between her thighs, he crawled to Eve

At dead of night, the sticky clime, smelt perfect to this serpentine

This shining angel palled in mysteries



Her undivine attention won he deftly spun

A web of for the one great sacred tree

Bejeweled and lit as if a thousand shades did flit

About boughs of forbidden lore, hidden for the want of more



And when seeds passed those fruitful lips

(Serpent tongue)

And mankind basked in vast eclipse

(Serpent tongue)

A devil shot of thin disguise

(Serpent tongue)

Surmised to better paradise



It's paradise, paradise, paradise

Paradise, paradise, paradise
