Proverbs

This song is a homage to the demon shown on the painting , more to be mentioned below. It is about Adam and Eve that resided in the Garden of Eden, just like Type O Negative song "". The lyrics are like proverbs written up by Tom Noir and he used that to base the knowledge on the stories of Adam and Eve to get his lover back.
"Proverbs" is divided into three named parts or cantos–"Original Sin", "Disobedience", and "Forbidden Fruit". "Original Sin" has the band's typical-styled riff overlaid with atmospheric keyboards. "Disobedience" is an instrumental section that features a Chinese 13-string instrument called , which is played by Doug Lane. The notes played on guzheng were taken from the demon who transcribed musical notes on the guy's butt shown on the aforementioned painting. Its rhythm is similar to the slowed down version of "" by and there's a rhythmic sample of a Mozart song "" embedded in them. There's also a buried sounds of women talking, dishes and utensils as if recorded from a dining area. Then the last canto, "Forbidden Fruit", contains similar sounding to that of old songs.
== Lyrics ==
She claims I look like Jesus
but I can't save you
Adam uses love to get sex
While Eve uses sex to get love
Perhaps too profound for weakness
Accepting of death than to serve
Promise the world in an instant
So long as there are others to groom
Only the dead will ever care
Entitled feigned innocence blues
Rumored to find hindered respect
Concealed knife in a stiletto boot
The greatest wonder of Eden
Between her legs and man's generational doom
[Instrumental]
As sure as the red
from the Heaven's bleeds blue
The garden's snake guards the fruit
If lost and alone
is the seed of your truth
Know I'm waiting for you
As sure as the red
from the Heaven's bleeds blue
The garden's snake guards the fruit
If lost and alone
is the seed of your truth
Know I'm waiting for you
