Lilith

Dance, Lilith, Dance Born from the dust that willed your soul to be free You belonged to the night Where your golden hair seduced the moonlight for a waltz And the stars dimmed their light to protect earth from its blaze Or were they shying away from your mystical smile Sing, Lilith, Sing Of your sacrifice to freedom Enslaved by the egos of the tongues of men Who berated you, For your temple did not worship their loins Conceiver of the first divorce That stirred the paparazzi in days of old To slither beyond those alluring eyes Your judge and jury Speak, Lilith, Speak Queen of the mythical silver screen Whose sins and lust have been etched into the abyss of immortality Who do you say you are, Lilith Speak to defend Deafened silence speaks louder than words You answer to no-one
