Before the sword

I am cast out
falling
you’ll find me burning
before you find me crawling

vile deceiver
screaming
Reality raw
Eden was man lost dreaming

Just creation
nature
built in instincts call
Lines between man and ape blur

Mankind was lied to
before the sword
rotting in a garden
eternity bored
good and evil
wisdom denied
light-bringer fell
when heaven lied

another death
nailed it
save from creation
once the father has failed it

blood borne flesh needs
made me
driven by my needs
until I find who flayed me

born into death
rotting
walking decomposed
what is the maker plotting

Is it chaos
no plan
fluke of the machine
that made us more than human

Mankind was lied to
before the sword
rotting in a garden
eternity bored
good and evil
wisdom denied
light-bringer fell
when heaven lied
