Serpent Tongue Lyrics

[Part 1]

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...

    The whole cd damnation and a day is based on paradise lost, so yes this is about the actual temptation of humankind.

    The first part of this song is about the relationship between Adam and Lilith! Eve doesn't come into the song until the second part."...trail of blood between her legs" is about how she fled the garden of Eden long before Eve came along. And if you didn't know Lilith was Adam first wife in the Garden of Eden, but she ran away after he tried to force her to have sex from his under-side (missionary). Thus she fled and became the first Vampire/Succubus!

    It's about Adam and Eve and how they fucked up really because it mentions them and the album is about the bible.

    But no seed passed those fruitful lips
    For fearing Her who grasped, He slit
    Her throat from ear to where She fled
    With tail and blood between Her legsss...


    Those lyrics say that Eve ate the apple, not Adam.
