lyrics

Chorus 1
O the serpent is a dead king and the dead king is the serpent
O the serpent is a dead king and the dead king is the serpent
For the serpent is a dead king and the dead king is the serpent
His death came at his falling

Verse 1
6 days of Creation
God began His nation
Eve was tricked and Adam fell
Here begins our story

Chorus 2
And the serpent with his angels built their temple at Mount Hermon
Yea, the serpent with his angels built their temple at Mount Hermon
For the serpent and his angels built their temple at Mount Hermon
Marred; the sons of man

Verse 2
Noah was a righteous man
Watchers took our daughter’s hand
God said ‘No, the Ark shall float,
The Nation will begin again.’

Chorus 3
Then the serpent went to Babylon, went to Egypt, Greece and Asia,
And the serpent went to Europe, went to Africa, Australia
And the serpent went to USA and all the neighbours south the way
Taught them all about the snake’s involvement

Verse 3
Children slaughtered one by one
Israel lost their eldest son’s
Moses spoke, and Egypt broke
When God smote Pharoah’s kingdom

Chorus 4
Now, the serpent is a dead king, Mother Mary is in labour
O the serpent is a dead king, Mother Mary is in labour
For the serpent is a dead king, Mother Mary is in labour
Yonder comes the Saviour

Verse 4
Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Born of God’s genetics
Adam’s sin was paid in blood
And now the Son is risen

Chorus 5
O the serpent is a dead king, dead’s the beast and the false prophet
O the serpent is a dead king, dead’s the beast and the false prophet
O the serpent is a dead king, dead’s the beast and the false prophet
Gather, Armageddon

Verse 5
Enoch’s future era
Come to pass from scripture
Waste the beast, prepare the feast
For God to take His seat up

Chorus 6
O the serpent is a dead king and the dead king is the serpent
O the serpent is a dead king and the dead king is the serpent
For the serpent is a dead king and the dead king is the serpent
God reigns, New Jerusalem
God reigns, New Jerusalem

Amen.
