The Ancient Serpent Lyrics - Legend Iii - Saviour Machine

Ten horns arise, the seven heads 

Upon its crowns and diadems... 

Its tail swept down unto the earth 

The stars of heaven; a third has turned... 

Bound to devour the child of light 

The dragon stands before her cries of life 

And now the serpent's crown shall be bestowed 

Unto the beast, unto its throne... 

The ancient serpent, the ancient son 

The ancient horror, the ancient one 

The ancient mystery of all iniquity 

Is now complete within it's silent trinity... 

Perfect in beauty, knowledge and wisdom 

"You were the seal of all perfection 

And you defiled your sanctuaries 

By the multitude of your iniquities." 

"And you were cast unto the ground 

The ancient serpent, the ancient son 

And it devoured you from within 

As it empowered all that is sin." 

And I brought fire forth from your midst 

The ancient horror, the ancient one 

The ancient mystery of all iniquity 

Is now complete within it's silent trinity... 

The age of grace is over 

The age of grace is over 

The legacy is fate... 

As destiny awakes
