The Serpent's Kiss Lyrics

Cover art for The Serpent's Kiss lyrics by Symphony X

"Be my lights and I won't stray Make me beg make me pray Tell me when to laugh or cry When to live and when to die" This verse might be from the POV of Adam/Eve, but if Symphony X took a page from Milton (who kind of made Satan out to be a Byronic hero), then it could be a sort of final plea from Satan -- like his moment of hesitation before trying to tempt Eve.

Also, it is important to remember that in Paradise Lost, Satan thinks that by tempting Eve and Adam with the Fruit of Knowledge, he is actually acting in their interest. He seeks not to corrupt God's creation, but to "free" them and make them his ally.
