    Verse 1
    Serpent 
    at 

    the gates 
    of 
    wis
    dom 

    Curling 
    'round 
    a 
    tree 

    With 
    your eyes 
    so 
    dark 
    and 
    empty 

    Looking 
    straight 
    through 
    me 

    How 
    did 
    you 
    get 
    so 
    unwinding? 

    Do you 
    know 
    my 
    sin
    s? 

    When 
    you're so 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    an
    swer 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    go 
    in? 

    Verse 2
    Serpent 
    at 
    the gates 
    of 
    wis
    dom 

    Who 
    did 
    you 
    deceive? 

    She 
    was 
    weak, 
    but 
    that's 
    no 
    reas
    on 

    For 
    what 
    you 
    did 
    to 
    Eve 

    You're 
    a fool, 
    you broke 
    the stillness 

    She gave 
    birth 
    to de
    sire 

    Rolling 
    down 
    the frozen 
    high
    way 

    Like 
    a 
    burning 
    tyre 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Serpent 
    at 
    the gates 
    of 
    wis
    dom 

    Where 
    do you 
    belong? 

    Wisdom 
    cannot 
    be 
    transmit
    ted 

    It 
    keeps 
    you 
    hanging 
    on 

    Do you 
    really 
    serve 
    the Devil 

    If 
    it's all 
    God's 
    plan? 

    Good 
    and evil 
    need 
    each 
    oth
    er 

    Honey 
    I'm 
    your 
    man 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    Serpent 
    at 
    the gates 
    of 
    wis
    dom 

    Like 
    a 
    purple 
    scar 

    Leering 
    at 
    me 
    round 
    the 
    dash
    board 

    As 
    I 
    reach 
    my 
    car 

    I 
    close 
    the door, 
    I 
    start 
    the 
    engine 

    And 
    I 
    will 
    take 
    con
    trol 

    God 
    above, 
    and 
    all 
    his 
    an
    gels 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    your 
    soul

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
