MAYHEM DELUXE: Track No. 3 - Serpents Winding (Angels Crying) Lyrics (The AI got a little wild so in some parts they won´t be the same) GARDEN OF EDEN [Intro] (whispered) In the beginning, there was silence A garden without a grave Two hearts beneath the branches And a choice they couldn't escape I heard a voice beneath the leaves Calling my name like a prayer The fruit was hanging from the tree And you were waiting there [Verse 1] Gold on your skin, dust on your hands Heaven was ours before we knew the command Eve took the apple, I watched her bite And every little sin made the darkness feel right Serpent tongue, silver teeth You put the forbidden underneath my belief God said, "Don't," but desire said, "Go" Now we're dancing where the sacred rivers flow [Pre-Chorus] Did you come from heaven? Did you crawl from hell? I can't tell the difference When you cast your spell The angels are watching But they won't intervene If paradise is perfect Why does it taste so obscene? [Chorus] Serpents winding, angels crying In your eyes, I see no light Truth and lies they intertwine In this Eden, you are mine Forbidden fruit, our bodies burning Heaven falls while we're still learning If this is sin, then let me drown In the garden where we never came down [Post-Chorus] Bite it, bite it Let the poison in Hide it, hide it Underneath your skin Eden, Eden Paradise undone Eden, Eden Two sinners becoming one [Verse 2] We heard the footsteps in the trees The voice of God moving through the leaves "Where are you?" — I couldn't reply So I covered my body and swallowed the lie You blamed the serpent, I blamed desire We built our confession around a burning fire Cherubim waiting with a flaming blade At the gates of the paradise we betrayed Cain saw Abel and envy took hold Blood on the earth where the roses once grew From the first little lie to the first brother's grave Every generation learned the price that we paid [Pre-Chorus] Did you come from heaven? Did you crawl from hell? I can't tell the difference When you cast your spell The angels are watching With their wings spread wide But there's no forgiveness On the other side [Chorus] Serpents winding, angels crying In your eyes, I see no light Truth and lies they intertwine In this Eden, you are mine Forbidden fruit, our bodies burning Heaven falls while we're still learning If this is sin, then let me drown In the garden where we never came down [Post-Chorus] Bite it, bite it Let the poison in Hide it, hide it Underneath your skin Eden, Eden Paradise undone Eden, Eden Two sinners becoming one [Bridge] (ethereal, building slowly) I saw the ladder reaching heaven But I couldn't climb that high I saw the flood consume the wicked While the righteous stayed alive I saw the burning cities I heard the walls of Jericho fall I saw the promised land from a distance But never touched it at all And if the Book has written our ending Then let the final chapter begin I'll wear the serpent like a halo And call my greatest weakness sin (beat drops) Don't save me from the garden Don't wash the blood away If paradise means losing you I'd choose the fall again [Breakdown] Eve! Open your eyes! Adam! Tell me no lies! Serpent! Show me your face! Angel! Get out of my way! [Final Chorus] Serpents winding, angels crying In your eyes, I see no light Truth and lies they intertwine In this Eden, you are mine Forbidden fruit, our bodies burning Heaven falls while we're still learning If this is sin, then let me drown I would rather lose paradise than lose you now Serpents winding, angels crying Hear the gates of Eden close Truth and lies they intertwine You're the sin that I chose Heaven's calling, demons crawling Still your hands are holding mine If the Garden is our prison Then forever, you'll be mine [Final Post-Chorus] Bite it, bite it Let the poison bloom Kiss me, kiss me In our forbidden room Eden, Eden Paradise undone Eden, Eden Look what we have become Eden... Eden... The garden is gone. [Outro] (whispered) And the Lord God said... "Where are you?" (pause) I'm right here. With the serpent.
