Paradise Still Lost
Paradise Still Lost
Ashen snowflakes descend
tears of sorrow for the fallen
angels weep in sorrow
gifts of divinity forsaken
Squandered seed spilled in rage
machine of man, far from Eden
takes matters into his own hands
fruit of the tree forbidden
Garden of bounty held in trust
the jester, trickster of illusion
sleight deceiver, seller of lies
the rapist of paradise, unforgiven
Lost in the eyes of the blind
man devouring man, sorrows coven
time immemorial, crosses mark
a barren wasteland devoid of forgiveness
Stephen (Stoic)
