Serpent at the gates of wisdom
Curling round a tree
With your eyes so dark and empty
Looking straight through me
How did you get so unwinding?
Do you know my sins?
When you`re so close to the answer
Why don`t you go in?
Serpent at the gates of wisdom
Who did you deceive?
She was weak, but that`s no reason
For what you did to Eve
You`re a fool-you broke the stillness
She gave birth to desire
Rolling down the frozen highway
Like a burning tyre
Serpent at the gates of wisdom
Where do you belong?
Wisdom cannot be transmitted
It keeps you hanging on
Do you really serve the Devil
If it`s all God`s plan?
Good and evil need each other
Honey I`m your man
Serpent at the gates of wisdom
Like a purple scar
Leering at me round the dashboard
As I reach my car
I close the door, I start the engine
And I will take control
God above, and all his angels, have mercy on your soul
