Serpent Temptation
Incubus · Other Songs - Incubus
They lived in a world where they were free
So listen and beware that this is Hell
'Cos they ate the fruit from the tree
[CHORUS]
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
When Satan took a Serpent form
The couple's destiny was then traced
Leaving God's wrath frustrated
They couldn't resist the Serpent Temptation
[CHORUS]
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
Mighty force
Evil's mighty force
We now live in a world of civilization
We're still affected by the Serpent Temptation
Technology won't help you to get salvation
The devil doomed God's creation
So let's destroy the devil's fucking nation
[LEAD]
