and did I really care
of what there was...

(Just who are the most self-righteous people on earth?)

When God created Adam and designed the fall,
 To reveal Christ's glorious salvation call.

 To plague mankind in a wicked way.

He’s scanning the park for a picnic
Looking forward to his evening meal.

Outside of civil man’s well tended garden,
A field of briars willfully encroached,
Threatening the peaceful flowers without pardon.

Causing catastrophes in your wake,
Collateral damage,
Chaos in...
