Letra da Música: Serpent Tongue - Cradle Of Filth

[Part 1]



So adept was unspoken Man

At dusting ledgers of the seraphim

That Lilith swept across the broken land

In a whirl of lust to pleasure him



This bland Adam, a reaper of the sun

In bone dry season, for Eve was busy sucking thumbs

Pricked in rosy gardens as he spattered into shells

And ran with morning fauna; His mastiffs and gazelle



Breathless as the wind

Adam, prowled, fell foul to Sin

But not before She spread Her grin

Across His silent lips

At crack of day, though what was shame?

The raptor's nest wherein they lay

Bore witness to Her soft parade

Of fingers come to grips



His undivine attention won

She deftly spun

From 'neath His thrusts to writhe above

In ecstasy

Pendulous She swung

As if her limbs imbibed His tongue

To spill, as with His rod

The secret name of God



But no seed passed those fruitful lips

For fearing Her who grasped, He slit

Her throat from ear to where She fled

With tail and blood between Her legsss...



[Part II]



So very kept was the virgin hand

That brushed the treasures of Utopia

And how the greed swept across the desert sands

In late August just to measure Her



This hallowed Eve, a creature of the moon

A simple dish born with a silver spoon

Giddy sniffing orchids that opened after dusk

Incubus and Prudence, two such swoon to touch Her



Restless as the skies

Temptation, bloomed, found room to rise

And snatching breaths between Her thighs

He crawled to Eve...

At dead of night, the sticky clime

Smelt perfect to this serpentine

This shining Angel

Palled in mysteries...



Her undivine attention won

He deftly spun

A web of for the one

Great sacred tree

Bejewelled and lit

As if a thousand shades did flit

About boughs of forbidden lore

Hidden for the want of more



And when seeds passed those fruitful lips

And Mankind basked in vast eclipse

A Devil shot of thin disguise

Surmised to better paradise
