Strange Sun
Adam and Eve stand on the lonely ground
but the apple is nowhere to be found.
Bushes wrapped around their formidable throne
And the snake is crawling around
The moment they have waited for has just arrived
forcing smiles and swallowing their shameful pride
Humiliated by their own choice everyone is paying an awful price
Now the throne hangs empty, bare and dry
The faithful are reaching towards the omniscient sky
Laughter and chatter are everywhere
Mockery hinges on the ruthless border in dispair
And the porous bucket is dripping muddy water.
The ogre-faced spider with its tangled web
is waiting for an out right disaster.
Forgetting the purpose of their existence
They run from town to town seeking dominion
The heart of Adam bleeds soaking the earth with indignity
but his soul is nowhere to be found
Lost in his pride shaken by his own arrogance
A claim he made from the start has landed him in the painful dark
having to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow
He toiled ceaselessly at the foot of the mount
Truth confronts truth exposing shadows of yesterday
Flutter by his brazen pride he land punches on every side
The painting on the wall stares at him
The writing on the screen is mocking him
Strange noise
Strange sound
She suddenly appears from beneath the ground
And take one leap to the top of the stairs.
