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
