Adorned with the Rising Cobra Songtext

von Virgin Steele

God: Long I wandered through night eternal
Forged as one with the dark
Wild orchid...serpent sunrise
Damn the horns of the moon

Fierce your eyes open grave incisions
Pale and strange in your face
Tempting torture, rape desire
Dreams are born in this place

Rise you're mine, be free
A vision of my black deeds
Your taste...embrace...that which remains unseen

Lilith: By the Tigris, by Euphrates
By lives that we've known
Frightended boy child...kill what you love
Spirits war in your soul
Fierce your mind opens...stranger prisons
Fear & lust rule your face

God: Fortune's fire, rape desire

Lilith: Dreams are torn in this place

God: Rise to know your place
Forever on your knees
Your face erase 'til nothing remains

God & Lilith: Run from my arms...don't run from my arms

God: Sleep and forget you were born

Lilith: Fear not my face or my savage grace
All become numb with the dawn
Don't try to hide from my savage heart

God & Lilith: How to unlearn all the things we have learned
Mind searing thoughts cold are your hearts

Lilith: How to unlearn all the things I've learned...Yea!

Lilith: To wear the crown of whore
Or touch eternity's stare
Love is cold it tastes of hell
Beseeching me there
I am waiting
I am waiting here (for another year)
Slaving...like the shrouds of tears
Waiting for all who've lost their way...you'll see them now
You'll see their mounds
All their tears are burning down
Silver fortune awaits
I am fallen like the crowd's own fear (and the first formed tear)
Callin' a thousand worlds draw near
Silent when all is scarred love awakes

God & Lilith: Enter the realm above

Lilith: Wind-born I'll teach you the secrets of wisdom

God: To order the night, a prison above

Lilith: Behold the secrets of the earth
For this is not life
And this is not death
These are things we made unseemly

God: And this is black fortune's dept...to never return...again...never

God: Long I wandered through nights eternal
Forged as one with the dark
Rising up through serpent sunrise
I can't see where we are
Fierce your eyes open paler prisons
Blood looks strange in your face
Tempting torture, rape desire

God & Lilith: Dreams are torn in this waste

God: Rise to know your place
Forever on your knees

Lilith: I recall every flame vow

God & Lilith: Run from my arms...don't run from my arms
Sleep and forget you were born

Lilith: Rise Babylon, break from your god
All become one with the dawn
Don't try to lie to my tragic heart
How to unlearn all the things I've learned
Rise Babylon safe from your god

God & Lilith: How to unlearn all the things we don't know
Oh...will we never learn?
