Good intentions pave the way of the human child

Heading for the fork as you walk the path of life

A spell cast from the hiding woods, don't you close your eyes

The snake is waiting anytime to penetrate your mind

Don't you hear voices whispering, incline to walk down



Don't you see the shadow on the wall, angel eyes... the one cast out to fall

Calling me to look up to the sky we follow but we never know oh why



A vision revealing a child down where I've sure never been

An angel who's touching the flame, oh the angel is me



Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, let the cut run deep

Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, I said go - let bleed! - Go, - let bleed!



[solo: Jens]



Feel it crawl, feel the magic coming over like a daze

Welcome as the poison for the cornered snake

Taste of sin, bitter sweet, never, never let us go

But never, never, never is a price we'd pay to grow



They call it original sin, some call it divine

The moment the evil appeared... the chance to decide



[repeat chorus]



From children in cradles to hangmen who smile

Lick up the blood from the blade of your knife

Walk the stairway, leading down, ride on fire, take the crown



Your mind could be strong but your flesh will be mine

He's offering those kingdoms, they all could be thine

Rising powers, tempting gold, but at what price would it be sold?

It's all up to you...



[solo: Jens]

[repeat chorus]
