Banished from the Blessed Garden Lyrics


Once upon a time

The was a blessed garden

The garden was a paradise

But soon an evil plan would be devised

And all the world

Was peaceful and thriving

But the serpent was conniving

It lied - abettor

Man's purpose gone awry

Now the man and the woman would die



The creation was so beautiful

The creatures sprawling 'cross the land

Mankind living among the beasts

He named them all from the greatest to the least

Carving a rib from Adam's side

The Creator created woman kind

"Freely eat all the food you see

Touch not the fruit of the knowledge tree"



The serpent was cunning and vile

Hatred for God and man

"Take it and give it a try

You most certainly will not die"

"To taste the fruit

To taste the fruit is death

A disastrous aftermath"

"No no, He lied

To taste the fruit is knowing

More and more your mind is growing"

And so the first transgresion was commited

A fall from grace

Blight on the human race

Forever tainted now

Forever a broken vow

Can The Lord save us somehow?

"Cursed

Cursed you are

You shall return to the ground

Work the soil with sweat and toil

Thistle and thorn

Your flesh will be torn

Banished from The Blessed Garden

Mortal now

For you are dust and to dust you shall return once more"

"Behold Adam has become like Us

Having knowledge of good and evil

I will drive them out this day forthwith

They must not take The Tree of Life and live forever"

And The Lord God drove them from the garden. On the East side, He posted a cherubim and a flaming sword turning every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.

No way back inside.

Banished from the land.

Forced to live in wildernes

Time was still

Now flowing

Evil inescapable

No works of the flesh

Could save us now

Only through the grace of the creator

Prophecies through time

They reveal the ultimate sacrifice

Death Lurks just around the bend

Eternal Damnation

Following in the footsteps of our father's nature before us

Oblivion waits for us all

Cursed we are

We all return to the ground

Fallen

Broken

Sheep gone astray

We all turn our own way in the end

Damned we are

We'll sleep in the beds we have made

One day

Far away

Wait for the prophecied One who can set us all free
