Текст Cradle Of Filth — Serpent Tongue

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
(Serpent tongue)
For fearing her who grasped, he slit
(Serpent tongue)
Her throat from ear to where she fled
(Serpent tongue)
With tail and blood between her legs

Paradise, paradise, paradise

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
Bejeweled 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
(Serpent tongue)
And mankind basked in vast eclipse
(Serpent tongue)
A devil shot of thin disguise
(Serpent tongue)
Surmised to better paradise

It’s paradise, paradise, paradise
Paradise, paradise, paradise
