Serpent at the gates of wisdom   Curling 'round a tree   With your eyes so dark and empty   Looking straight through me   How did you get so unwinding?   Do you know my sins?   When you're so close to the answer   Why don't you go in?      Serpent at the gates of wisdom   Who did you deceive?   She was weak, but that's no reason   For what you did to Eve   You're a fool, you broke the stillness   She gave birth to desire   Rolling down the frozen highway   Like a burning tyre      Serpent at the gates of wisdom   Where do you belong?   Wisdom cannot be transmitted   It keeps you hanging on   Do you really serve the Devil   If it's all God's plan?   Good and evil need each other   Honey I'm your man      Serpent at the gates of wisdom   Like a purple scar   Leering at me round the dashboard   As I reach my car   I close the door, I start the engine   And I will take control   God above, and all his angels   Have mercy on your soul
