In the beginning our choice was to betray
closing our ears to what the light had to say
tempted to know all, the perfection hastingly spent
lifetimes passed questioning what had to be meant
wandering in time through the evil of our deceit
colliding with beings we have chosen to meet
given the freedom to do what's wrong or what's right
to hide in the darkness or walk in the light
and if it's with the serpent that we do agree
into society we send our tidal waves of misery
shadowed by the ignorance of generations before
continuing to open the infinitely small door
confusion caused by secrets, vanity and greed
crying to the master for his slaves to be freed
but if it's with the truth that we take our side
our destructive wave may soon change its tide
for when we are open to the message from above
together we shall journey to ourdestiny of love
