Serpent Bride

Breathing life to the immovable Sun
Shaping the ever living waters from the desolate void
Radiating grace from the celestial grove
In his likeness, man surged from the womb of the earth and throve

God made flesh to drink from the cup of immortality
Proscribed from the tree of knowledge, axis mundi
Unchained by the sin to thread in the paths of the pure
Beguiled by the treacherous bread to a fate obscure

Betraying the covenant with the timeless lawgiver
Lusting for the unknowable
Eve to the son
Of the abyss betroth

Betraying the covenant with the timeless lawgiver
Lusting for the unknowable
Eve to the son
Of the abyss betroth

For dust, you are and to dust you shall return

Their nakedness unveiled
Their innocence forlorn
Procreating the transgressions of the unborn

Clothed by shame
Unshackled and untamed
Under the blade of the flaming sword, forever to slave and toil

Baited by pride and greed, fathering the demon seed
Besieging man for eternity, peccatis nostris
Harbingers of the fall, condemned to beg and crawl
Defiling purity, banished with indignity

Bringing solace to the despondent keeper
Soothing his wishes and his stupor
The serpent bride arose

Bringing solace to the despondent keeper
Soothing his wishes and his stupor
The serpent bride arose
