Chapter 1 - My Garden of Eden

- Based upon the Garden of Eden. It's free for anybody to interpret, it probably means different things for different people but for me it kind of symbolizes the evil inside everybody, after all we are all capable of doing bad things…-



[My Garden of Eden] ©

In the hands of God, a holy place

Lies my garden, a forest of grace

The beauty flows and peace is free

Towards the centre juts out a tree

Trunk twisted, snake entwined

Apples violent red, bloody lined

I take a bite and my garden shatters

Destroying all the good that matters

And the flowers in my Garden of Eden

The weeds strangle and bleed them

Until the flowers choke and cry

Falling for evil they go limp and die

This is the end for my garden

The end of innocence for the world of men

And as the weeds of evil grow

The gates of my Eden open and I know

That the sins of all my forgotten past

The ones of which I hoped wouldn't last

Are going to come back to haunt me

And it'll show for you to see

I've bitten into the apple and its rotting me inside

Today's the day humanity lived and died

And when I wake up in the morning

And hear my nightmares calling

It seems like I been asleep for so long

A thousand years have been and gone

Yet my Garden of Eden has overgrown

Although I'm pretending all along I've known

The flowers scream out, choke and cry

And all my sanity will sicken and die

Whispering willows weep to me

Let it spread and leave them be

But my evil has been let loose

Knotted by my hangman's noose

And in my Garden of Eden, I see

Evil spreading across the land and sea

And I know I've unleashed a monster

One of which there is only one cure

The goodness of man's heart

Most of which wouldn't part

Now humanity, steal, abuse and kill

I can stop it but I'm already dancing with the devil
