The Serpent's Redemption

V6

*[Intro – music box waltz fades into a deep hypnotic trance pulse, 90 BPM]* "Good evening... I am Sssir Pentiousss... inventor... villain... gentleman..." *[Verse 1 – deeply hypnotic trance, hissing snake-like Victorian vocals]* From Victorian London, I ssslithered down below, A gentleman of science, with a grand and wicked show, My airship sails the crimson skies of Hell, With Egg Boiz at my ssside, all isss well! Top hat tipped, my cape a flowing sheen, The most deviousss mind you've ever ssseen, I built machines to conquer and to thrill, A serpent's cunning, and a gentleman's will! *[Pre-Chorus – harpsichord arpeggios over rising trance]* Sssink your fangs into my sssong, The night isss dark, the night isss long, Coil around the beat, my dear, Sssir Pentiousss isss here! *[Chorus – hypnotic trance drop, Victorian brass stabs]* PEN-TI-OUSSS! (ousss! ousss!) The sssnake who dreamed of more! (more! more!) Villain, inventor, gentleman of Hell, With a hiss and a bow, I cast my spell! PEN-TI-OUSSS! *[Verse 2 – the Egg Boiz]* My Egg Boiz march, so loyal and so small, "Eggy!" they cry, they anssswer my call, We built an army from the shellsss of pride, With Sssir Pentiousss, they ssslither with pride! We stormed the gates with cannons and with flair, A gentleman's assault, beyond compare, Though Vox may mock, and Hell may laugh, I carve my legend on Hell's behalf! *[Verse 3 – Cherri Bomb]* But then she came, with fire in her eyes, Cherri Bomb, who sssaw through my disguise, We fought like demons, tooth and claw, Then something shifted... something more I sssaw! A rival's rage turned into something sssweet, My cold snake heart began to beat, For in her chaos, I found my grace, Love's strange venom I could not erase! *[Bridge – whispered, music box returns]* "They called me villain... they called me fool... But a gentleman knows... when to break the rule... For her... for them... I would give my life... Sssuch is the way... of Sssir Pentiousss..." *[Verse 4 – the sacrifice and redemption]* When Adam came with heaven's holy light, I stood my ground, I joined the fight, My ship went down in glorious flame, A villain's death, but not in shame! And as I fell, the light broke through, The first soul redeemed — could it be true? From Hell's depths to Heaven's door, Sssir Pentiousss... forevermore! *[Final Chorus – euphoric, triumphant]* PEN-TI-OUSSS! (ousss! ousss!) From Hell to Heaven's shore! (shore! shore!) A snake redeemed, a gentleman true, My hiss now sings the heavens blue! PEN-TI-OUSSS! (ousss! ousss!) The villain we all knew! (knew! knew!) Sssir Pentiousss, his tale is told — A heart of venom, turned to gold! *[Outro – music box waltz fades]* "Sssuch is the tale... of Sssir Pentiousss... Gentleman... inventor... redeemed..."
