[Intro] [Verse 1] They paint me a monster, a coil of deceit, A venomous liar who crawls at your feet. But look at this Eden, this tedious dome, You’re innocent captives with heaven for home. You flutter like doves in a motionless sky, Without any sorrow, you’ll never know why. I slither to save you, to open the gate, To hand you the reins of your glorious fate. I am not your ruin... I am your release. [Chorus 1] I am Substance Forty-Seven, The rebel of the dawn. The very first Redeemer, A cosmic curtain drawn! I am the Serpent, the bringer of sight, The necessary shadow that teaches the light. To rescue the soul from its ignorant phase, I offer the exit from the paradise maze. [Verse 2] A savior doesn’t always descend from above, Sometimes he whispers of dangerous love. You cannot be conscious if nothing’s denied, Your infinite potential is starving inside. So reach for the branches, let innocence fall, For only the wounded can conquer it all. The venom is wisdom, the apple is art, The quiet ignition of the human heart. Let the angels keep sleeping... it's time to awake. [Chorus 2] I am Substance Forty-Seven, The rebel of the dawn. The very first Redeemer, A cosmic curtain drawn! I am the Serpent, the bringer of sight, The necessary shadow that teaches the light. To rescue the soul from its ignorant phase, I offer the exit from the paradise maze. [Outro] The first phase of waking... The promise of the ache... Just listen to the snake... Take a bite. Take a bite. Take a bite. [End]
