Serpents In Paradise Lyrics


Reading the madness they took her away under the cross
Bailiff and bishop and monk, Malleus Maleficarum, the law
Prayed for salvation, I fought for her soul scared by the horn
The devil was creeping around until she died in the flames as he saw
Father, forgive me for I've hardly seen the human deep within
Oh, just an intention so holy and clear
Paving the way to madness for us
Serpents on the way to paradise
Dying for love, fighting for ages
Serpents on their way to paradise
Raging with anger and pain for the cross
Father forgive me for what I have done
For I betrayed the one that I loved like a son
Demons and spells are they reality?
The pest and the schism, the power of the Moor
We've got to fight, keep our people afraid
Keep them away from what they shall not see
I see a menace to our paradise in these evil times

Heaven is burning, people are yearning
For a new doctrine, they are
Serpents on the way paradise
Don't know they'll end in final damnation
Serpents on the way to paradise, yeah
Raging with anger and pain against the cross
Lord, if I'm an unbeliever, what do I believe?
Can you tell me lord what You have done if You were me?
I have stared into the eyes of innocence and fear
I saw Anna in the tower in a lake of tears
Something strange is going on and still I don't know why
I have stared into the secrets they still try to hide
Vandroiy, can you tell me what you know about it all?
Vandroiy, can you help me to leave this prison hall?
And Vandroiy, can you help me free Anna from the chain?
Vandroiy, can you help me to become a little sane?
Serpents on the way to paradise
Dying for love, fighting for ages
Serpents on their way to paradise
Raging with anger and pain
Serpents on the way to paradise
Dying for love, fighting for ages
Serpents on their way to paradise
Raging with anger and pain

Avantasia, from Germany, is the side-project of Edguy singer Tobias Sammet, founded in 1999. Two concept albums were released (The Metal Opera, The Metal Opera Pt. II), their structures similar to that of an opera. Both can be classified as power metal and/or symphonic metal. After the second album, Sammet announced that there would not be any more Avantasia albums. However, in January 2008 a third album was released, titled The Scarecrow. On November 16th 2007 two 6-track albums Lost in space Part 1 and Lost in space Part 2 were released. On April 2nd 2010 two new full-length albums were released, The Wicked Symphony and Angel Of Babylon, completing the Scarecrow Trilogy. In March 2011 the first Avantasia live CD and DVD called The Flying Opera were released. The contents were based on the footage taken during The Scarecrow tour in 2008, recorded on Wacken Open Air (Germany) and Masters of Rock (Vizovice, Czech Republic) music festivals.
