Symphony X

Covenant of pure corruption
Sink my teeth deep into you
Solemn oath of sheer destruction
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 lights and I won't stray
Make me beg, make me pray
Tell me when to laugh or cry
When to live, 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
Llike 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
