Deed Of The Serpent Lyrics

I stood there and beheld how it erupted,
As the fire refused bowing to the mud,
The command was clear and I had prostrated,
As I looked up, I found him defying to sway,

I shall not bow to one created from clay,
This creation is stillborn,
I shall not bow to the vermin,

Is this the one whom thou honored above me?
If thou but respite me to the day of eternity,
I shall bring him under my sway,
I shall lead him to the point of dismay,
And all his descendants shall go astray,

I shall not bow to one created from clay,
This creation is stillborn,

Go thy way if any of them followeth thee,
Verily hell shall be recompensed for him and thee,

Go thy way if any of them followeth thee,
Verily hell shall be recompensed for him and thee,
I had no power over thee,
But to call you and yet you listened to me,
So reproach me not, for I am a servant of thee,
I shall not listen to thy cries,
Nor shall thou listen to mine,
So suffer and scream for the rest of eternity
