I have eaten the fruit from the tree of life
and taken knowledge that was not mine
the clouds are fighting the sun light
though the moon still shines so bright
One enemy of so many who knows us so well
takes our love away and sends us to hell
I do not hear screams or see the fires
I have become deaf and blind
just for the serpent getting in my mind
No matter what love God has for me
I stand here to prove we are all equals
made so perfect but able to do wrong
but given love to escape from hell
a second chance for all those that fell
I have eaten the fruit from the tree of life
and taken knowledge that was not mine
I spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper
and sat atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the blood spilled by my hand
I spent some time in Italy where I saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful uncle
But despite my good deeds I have been weighed
I have been measured
And I have absolutely...
Been found wanting
Welcome to the New World. God save me, if it is right that he should do so
and taken knowledge that was not mine
the clouds are fighting the sun light
though the moon still shines so bright
One enemy of so many who knows us so well
takes our love away and sends us to hell
I do not hear screams or see the fires
I have become deaf and blind
just for the serpent getting in my mind
No matter what love God has for me
I stand here to prove we are all equals
made so perfect but able to do wrong
but given love to escape from hell
a second chance for all those that fell
I have eaten the fruit from the tree of life
and taken knowledge that was not mine
I spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper
and sat atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the blood spilled by my hand
I spent some time in Italy where I saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful uncle
But despite my good deeds I have been weighed
I have been measured
And I have absolutely...
Been found wanting
Welcome to the New World. God save me, if it is right that he should do so
