Serpent At The Gates Of Wisdom
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 Letras de canciones 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 From Letras Mania
