Paradise Lost
(© Ko-Do 2004)



Cain killed his brother
Whose name has been Abel
But his spirit survived and is now known as Seth
The past is his mother
She's never been able
To take off the guilt of our future and faith

Now there's a fence made of fire
Around the garden of Eden
And the sword of an angel is keeping the door
Hence man is a lier
"Entrance forbidden"
And the father himself is sweeping the floor

And the prophetic vision
That lightens our darkness
Is just a reflection of what might have come true
If not human ambition
To be a god or a goddess
Had caused a rejection of the sole fitting clue

Only once in a while
The snake peels her scales
That fall out of the garden to be our advice
And a wise man's smile
Makes of stories and tales
To keep mankind from looking behind the disguise
