Lyrics for The Serpent

Dark night, planets are set Creator prepares for the dawn of man You're waking up, the day of incarnation Said you're waking up to life Images he made to love Images of gods in flesh Man is wonderful, very wonderful Look at him Beware the future Here is my world and it's waiting for me Paradise before my eyes I am alive in a new born world This heaven will always be mine I'm waking up, the day of man has come I'm waking up, the day of man has come And God created man from dust With a soul inside his mould And God created womankind The vessel of Satan's hold Creator made the serpent wise Evil in his tempting eyes Man is wonderful, very wonderful Look at him Beware the future Here is my world and it's waiting for me Paradise before my eyes I am alive in a new born world This heaven will always be mine I'm waking up, the day of man has come I'm waking up, the day of man has come Dark night, planets are set Creator prepares for the dawn of man You're waking up, the day of incarnation Said you're waking up to life Here I stand, a child in a lonely world, oh no Watch the serpent tempting me to evil The guiding hand will help me on The guiding hand will help me on The guiding hand will help me on The guiding hand will help me on
