Covenant of pure corruption Sink my teeth deep into you Solemn oath of sheer destruction A nightmare, through and through In that hour - I'll devour Hope is swallowed up in pain Taste the venom - feel the power Coursing through my veins I'm corruption I'm destruction, through and through Trust in me... for I will set you free With a Serpent's Kiss With a Serpent's Kiss Be my light and I won't stray - make me beg: Make me pray Tell me when to laugh or cry - when to lie And when to die Forgotten and betrayed Rotting and decayed Left to wither - without a voice Left to slither - without a choice Crucifier - spitting fire Say your little empty prayers This Empire - growing higher ... to this spite, I swear Sharp tongue severs - like a razor Swimming in a sea of rage Vindicators - masqueraders All the world's my stage I devour I empower - God of pain Trust in me... for I will set you free With a Serpent's Kiss How could it come to this? With a Serpent's Kiss
