The foul taste of forbidden fruit rots forever on our tongues Deceiver, tempting serpent, what has our passion wrought? Forever made to suffer, in exile from the Garden Bittersweet the taste of fruit, there's no hope for pardon Thou hast abandoned your creation to the whims of fancy While angels and fallen demons vie for the souls of the weak and empty Innocence lost forever, tempted by the fruit of knowledge Pleas for mercy go unanswered prayers go unacknowledged
Why? Father! If you truly are omnipotent then you knew that we would succumb With this knowledge you condemn us to fall So tell me who is the true deceiver?
Blissful ignorance, now gone for all eternity Burdened with the knowledge of death Condemned by the father of enmity
Take us away on the wings of a prayer, Deliver us from material bondage and despair Omnipotent being, the creator of all, What has thou forsaken your creation to the fall? Cast out of the Garden, and exposed to a cruel world, Before a host of lowly swine, you cast your finest pearls
