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 to 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
