the serpent s kiss

Covenant of pure corruption
sink my teeth deep into you
Solemn oath sheer Destruction
a Nightmare, through and through

In that hour - I'll devour
Hope is swallowed up in Pain
taste the venom - feel the power
cursing through my veins

I'm corruption
I'm destruction, through and through

Trust in Me... for I will set you free
With a Serpent's Kiss
With a Serpent's Kiss

Be my light and I won't stray
Make me beg, make me pray
Tell me when to laugh or cry
When to live and when to die

Forgotten and betrayed
Rotten and decayed
Left to wither - without a voice
Left to slither - without a choice

Crucifier - spitting fire
Say your little empty prayers
This Empire - growing higher
...to this spite, I swear

Sharp tongue servers - like a razor
Swimming in a sea of Rage
Vindicators - masquerades
All the World's my Stage

I devour
I empower - God of Pain

Trust in Me... for I will set you free
With a Serpent's Kiss
How could it come to this?
With a Serpent's Kiss
