Diamonds, Diamonds

Leave me in the Garden of Eden, To witness life form and rivers begin to roll, Naked but clothed in innocence, Immortality has been placed within my grasp, Animals, colossal beasts fall under my authority, Every fruit and flower is offered to sustain me, save one, Why do I want for what is forbidden, what will do me harm? Every inch of this utopia is entrusted to my care, I will not fall into folly, She is so radiant, shimmering diamonds are like as dust, Born of my flesh and bone, the apple of my eye, Her voice is my only weakness, the only chink in my armor, As of now I know nothing of death but I would sacrifice myself for her, The serpent struck while she wandered alone, He enticed her to trade paradise for a bite, Her mind freed, she introduces me to sin, I must endure the face of beautiful temptation, I feel the shift as the fruit touches my lips, As as we hear God traversing the garden, we hide, Clothed in fig leaves we face the Maker, With trembling knees we accept the consequences, With backs turned, cast out and disgraced, The sword of the captain of angels bars the gate, Sentenced to a life of hardship and anguish, We will forever lament choosing death over life
