Serpent’s Kiss (Music Video) Songtext
von Symphony X

Covenant of pure corruption
Sink my teeth deep into you
Solemn oath of sheer destruction
Nightmare, through and through

In that hour, I′ll devour
Hope is swallowed up in pain
Taste the venom, feel the power
Coursing 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 lights 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
Rotting 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 severs, like a razor
Swimming in a sea of rage
Vindicators, masqueraders
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
