The band released a debut self-titled album in March 1995, with vocals done by both Protector and Silenius, as well as with the voice of Julia Lederer (Protector's sister) and Nora El Shamah. Die verbannten Kinder Evas returned after a two-year break with "Come Heavy Sleep", musically speaking, the recording remained true to their original sound, perhaps becoming more complex and more classical in style. The vocals are done by Julia and Richard Lederer, as Nora left the band due to lack of interest and Silenius focused more on Summoning.
Die verbannten Kinder Evas signed to Napalm Records in 1999 and released a third album, "In Darkness Let Me Dwell". With this release Die Verbannten Kinder Evas continue to make considerable use of their now trademark classical sound. Furthermore, the addition of Tania Borsky's singing talent to Richard Lederer's diverse vocal styles add colour and contrast to the dark tracks typical of the band.
The Die verbannten Kinder Evas' last album, titled "Dusk and Void Became Alive" was released in November 2006, which features a new female singer named Christina Kroustali.

The Serpent's Voice
Die Verbannten Kinder Evas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But teased by doubt alone
I hear the serpent voice inside me
Sands of time will now dissolve
I cry for truth from where I stand
But growing lies my reply
I bought my ship of dreamy pictures
I sale but know not where I am
Sinking and no one around
The last sound that my body utters
Is a cry for truth
The lyrics to Die Verbannten Kinder Evas's song The Serpent's Voice are poetic and mysterious in their storytelling. The singer of the song acknowledges that there was once truth in the words that were spoken to them, but now they are plagued by doubt. This doubt manifests as a serpent voice inside them, leading them away from the truth. The sands of time are running out, and the singer feels the weight of this passing time. They cry out for truth, but instead are met with growing lies. The ship of dreamy pictures is a metaphor for the illusions and delusions that the singer is holding onto as they navigate through the sea of death. The ship is sinking, and the singer is alone with the last sound heard is a final cry for truth.
The lyrics seem to explore the theme of truth and the consequences of living in a world where truth is obscured by doubt and lies. The serpent voice represents the mistrust and confusion that plagues the singer, leading them astray from the truth. The ship of dreamy pictures is a metaphor for the false ideas and beliefs that people cling onto as they try to navigate through life. The song seems to suggest that the pursuit of truth is a difficult and lonely journey, and that time is running out for those who remain lost in delusions.
Line by Line Meaning
There was once truth in what you spoke
I used to believe you were truthful in your words
But teased by doubt alone
But now I am unsure of your honesty
I hear the serpent voice inside me
I feel like I am being tempted into a false reality
Sands of time will now dissolve
The passage of time will reveal the truth
I cry for truth from where I stand
I desperately long for the truth to be revealed to me
But growing lies my reply
But as time goes on, my lies and deceptions grow
I bought my ship of dreamy pictures
I built a false sense of security based on illusions and wishful thinking
Through the seas of death
Navigating through dangerous and uncertain situations
I sale but know not where I am
I continue on my journey without direction or purpose
Sinking and no one around
I am failing and have no one to turn to
The last sound that my body utters
My final words express my yearning for the truth to come out
Is a cry for truth
I am screaming out for the truth that I so desperately seek

The best track on their first album and one of the best they ever composed. Excellent

I would rather say that this track has the most "catchy" melodies than the rest of the album, which i find really nice.

strange question...I have seen a couple live videos of this band (really like it) and have seen Protector and a woman in both of them. Does Silenius ever make an appearance? I was also wondering who the woman is as well. TIA for any info if there is any
