Obscured acuity
 Distorting clarity
 Malfeasance divine
 Shattering the soul

 Freedom is now abstract
 Imposed by those who act
 And so oblivious
 The war machine is raised

 Wrath and perdition directed by wisdom
 Now forced to your knees to reap basic needs
 What’s right or wrong? It’s just a vision
 Mankind created just like your prison cell

 The serpent’s kiss
 (The serpent’s kiss)
 Anoints the sick

 Vicariously now
 Remove the human blame
 Dispose validity
 Render all slaves blind

 Death and submission
 The serpent’s religion
 Dementia divine
 Reaping in time

 Control delusion
 To raise institution
Reform bereft
 Slavery incepted now

 The serpent’s kiss
 (The serpent’s kiss)
 Anoints the sick
 (Divinity)
 The serpent’s kiss!

[Solo: Dave]

 To strike the demon down
 Decapitate its crown
 To liberate its throne
 Immortal blood now flows

 Wrath and perdition directed by wisdom
 Now forced to your knees to reap basic needs
 What’s right or wrong? It’s just a vision
 Mankind created just like your prison cell

The serpent’s kiss
 (The serpent’s kiss)
 Anoints the sick
 (Divinity)
 The serpent’s kiss!

 The serpent’s kiss!
