My Own Grave - God Forbid lyrics

The serpent coils are shifting Black wearing pale With crown of thorns for horns The beast was tamed Man's endless thirst for a new god By earthly wealth was quenched What conceit is it not to be unfaithful To the fate of man.

Bury Eden, burn it to the ground Now behold the remains Is the chain rendered useless without master Without head
