Besedila: AVANTASIA. The Metal Opera. Serpents In Paradise.

Reading the madness they took her away under the cross
Bailiff and bishop and monk, Malleus Maleficarum, the law
Prayed for salvation, I fought for her soul scared by the horn
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
Oh, 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
Heaven is burning, people are yearning
For a new doctrine, they are

Serpents on the way paradise
Don't know they'll end in final damnation
Serpents on the way to paradise, yeah
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 have 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 going on and still I 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?
And Vandroiy, can you help me 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

Serpents on the way to paradise
Dying for love, fighting for ages
Serpents on their way to paradise
Raging with anger and pain
