Symphony X - Serpent's Kiss lyrics

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 Light 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
