Serpent of Eden

Fluttered Wings on a slender pile, wickedness and hate, 

For the garden was mine, the souls - his to take, 

Through means of tongue, his brawn or brain, 

Nothing to lose, but all to gain. 

'And eat it so you shall conquer light', the dark mist had a show, 

'Apple of fate is yours to eat', he made the desires grow.

And so she ate what 'he' told not to, 

For anything but a snake, 

A fallen Angel in disguise, 

Had eons to put at stake.

I knew the truth of what he was, what he did I knew, 

But all I could do was nothing, but to see her delusion brew.

With hate, and guilt, and Lust, O'heavens

We had our future shunned, 

O' Eve, my wife, I don't know why, 

By you this deed was done. 

But who was me to forbid the course, 

As serpent got me too, 

My promise to 'Him' had gone astray, 

For I thought her words were true. 

And alas! We lost the wings of light, 

From hide all through the kin, 

For I knew what a treacherous thing, we'd done,

The first of 'Sin'.
