Serpent's Treason Lyrics


In the garden of earthly paradise

Near the tree of knowledge bearing fruit

Something evil in the shadows fantasized

And plotted...

Masquerading as a friend

With the promise of enlightenment

To the fruit did our hands extend

And we consumed...

Oh, were our eyes opened

Oh, were we filled with shame

Lo, the clouds did part

The Creator's face enraged

Nowhere to hide

To the serpent, cast our blame

Overwhelmed with guilt

As the angels cast us out the gate

Death has come into the world

And we, expelled from Eden

From paradise to exile

By this, the serpent's treason
