Good intentions pave the way of the human child
  Heading for the fork as you walk the path of life
  A spell cast from the hiding woods, don't you close your eyes
  The snake is waiting anytime to penetrate your mind
  Don't you hear voices whispering, incline to walk down
  
  Don't you see the shadow on the wall, angel eyes... the one cast out to fall
  Calling me to look up to the sky we follow but we never know oh why
  
  A vision revealing a child down where I've sure never been
  An angel who's touching the flame, oh the angel is me
  
  Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, let the cut run deep
  Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, I said go - let bleed! - Go, - let bleed!
  
  [solo: Jens]
  
  Feel it crawl, feel the magic coming over like a daze
  Welcome as the poison for the cornered snake
  Taste of sin, bitter sweet, never, never let us go
  But never, never, never is a price we'd pay to grow
  
  They call it original sin, some call it divine
  The moment the evil appeared... the chance to decide
  
  [repeat chorus]
  
  From children in cradles to hangmen who smile
  Lick up the blood from the blade of your knife
  Walk the stairway, leading down, ride on fire, take the crown
  
  Your mind could be strong but your flesh will be mine
  He's offering those kingdoms, they all could be thine
  Rising powers, tempting gold, but at what price would it be sold?
  It's all up to you...
