(Intro – dark shred harmonies) The serpent’s crown, of gilded lies, A poisoned gift in mortal eyes. The throne of kings, the priests betrayed, By venom’s hand, the world decayed. (Verse 1 – galloping thrash) Temples fall in flames of hate, Fools surrender to their fate. Every oath a broken chain, Every prayer consumed in pain. (Pre-Chorus) Hollow kings with eyes of fire, Fall to ash in dark desire. The devil’s crown, the serpent’s sting, Death shall reign where serpents sing! (Chorus – Blind Guardian–style epic) Crown of serpents, forged in flame, Kings devoured, the world in chains. Crown of serpents, lies remain, The devil laughs as gods are slain! (Bridge – heavy Rage-style groove) Twisting coils, the crown is worn, The ancient pact forever sworn. The serpent’s tongue, the crown of pain, The world enslaved, the dark shall reign! (Solo – Racer X duel, sinister harmonies) (Final Chorus) Crown of serpents, forged in flame, Kings devoured, the world in chains. Crown of serpents, lies remain, The devil laughs as gods are slain!
