Serpents In Paradise (Recorded @ Wacken & Masters of Rock) - Avantasia

Reading the madness,

They took her away,

Under the cross,

Baliff and Bishop and monk -

Malleus maleficarum - The law.

Prayed for salvation, I fought for her soul,

Scared by the horned.

The Devil was creeping around,

Until she died in the flames as he saw.

Father forgive me for I've hardly seen the human deep within.

Just an intention - so holy and clear,

Paving the way to madness for us...

Serpents on the way to paradise -

Dying for love, Fighting for ages,

Serpents on their way to paradise -

Raging with anger and pain for the cross.

Father forgive me for what I have done,

For i betrayed the one that I loved like a son,

Demons and Spells are they reality??

The pest and the schism; the power of the Moor

We've got to fight,

Keep our people afraid...

Keep them away from what they shall not see...

I see a menace to our paradise in these evil times,

Heaves is burning,

People are yearning,

For a new doctrine,

They are...

Seperents on the way to paradise.

Don't know they'll end in final damnation.

Serpents on the way to paradise.

Raging with anger and pain against the cross.

Lord if I'm an unbeliever - what do i believe?

Can you tell me lord what you had done if you were me?

I have stared into the eyes of innocence and fear,

I saw Anna in the tower in a lake of tears,

Something strange is goin on and i still don't know why,

I have stared into the secrets they still try to hide.

Vandroiy can you tell me what you know about it all?

Vandroiy can you help me to leave this prison hall?

Free Anna from the chain?

Vandroiy can you help me to become a little sane?

Serpents on the way to paradise -

Dying for love, Fighting for ages,

Serpents on their way to paradise

Raging with anger and pain...
