lyrics

11. THE SERPENT WITH THE DOUBLE-EDGED TONGUE

a): The Awakening
Where are you, my god, my power, my senses tell me
You are here, where I don’t see
You should have saved me, let me prosper, let me feel real life
Instead I sit and wait for a sign of life
Wake up, wake up
There’s no time to waste
Wake up, wake up
Watch the serpent fall from upon the sky
Wake up, wake up
There’s no time
Wake up, wake up
Watch the serpent fall from upon the sky
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
Come and show me your secret
I’ll keep it safe
Open your book and I’ll take it to my cave
Let me take note
Let me tell the future
Upcoming events
Breaking the barrier of time
Time is now mine
(Solo: A. Curty)
Get up, go away
There is more time than needed
Get up, go away
Watch the serpent rising up so high
Get up, go away
There’s more time
Get up, go away
Watch the serpent rising up so high
Now I know why, now I know why

b): The Voyage
(Solo: C. Schafer)
The World is a lonely place full of lost souls
Lost little minds whose lives are occupied
May I tell them now, so they will know?
A secret, a mystery, an unknowing puzzle to be
Shall I start to enlighten, tell me how
Or shall I save man
By deceiving
On and on I travel
To plant the seed in different cultures
Spread the good word
Spread the lies
Just to safe them from the Truth
Safe them for good
(Solo: M. Vaucher)

c): Chosen Few
We are the seers of the past
We bring you Jesus the real and only
Obey, believe, receive
Totally completely
Turn from Satan -Turn from grief
Nothing more shall I believe
Let us write it down
Just what we remember
Once and for all
Twelve chosen ones
Twelve chosen sons
Twelve holy unite
Twelve planets collide
(Solo: C. Schafer)

d): Final Descent
Here is my servant, whom I have chosen
The one I love and I delight
I will put my spirit on him
And he will proclaim justice to the nations
He will not quarrel or cry out
No one will hear his voice in the streets
A bruised reed he will not break
And a smouldering wick he will not snuff out
Until he leads justice to victory
In his name the nations will put their hope
(Matthew 12, 18-21)

Never return
Never new born
Never return
Never will turn
Never return
Never reborn
Never return
Never to learn
But the damage has been done
2000 years of innocent people
Dying for you
Love your next
To kill the other
Love yourself and kill your brother
Wake up, wake up
There’s more space than time
Wake up, wake up
I saw the serpent spreading out the lie
Get up, go away
Get under earth or
Stand up and shout
To the serpent king up in the sky
Now you know why, now you know why
(Solo: A. Curty)
