[Verse]Before the first shadowThat touched our hearts, there was only lightI'm not just talking about the sunlightThat would filter through the canopyLike liquid gold, warm on my skinI'm talkin' about life, like air itself tasted sweetLike honey in rain, everything hummedThe garden wasn't just the place we livedIt breathed with usThere was no fear here, fear hadn't even been invented yetA lion, a massive creatureWould lеan it's heavy head into my touchEverything was connеctedEverything was exactly how it was meant to beAnd even, when I look at herI finally understand what God meantWhen he said, "Very good" (Ooh)And then, there's HimIt's the cool of the day, that's when he comesYou always know when he's nearThe air, it changes, expectedLike the atmosphere itself is leaning into [listening?]We hear the sound first, not heavy footstepsBut the shifting of the atmosphereA weight of goodness moving through the treesAnd we run, we run towards the soundHis voice, it isn't just soundIt's a foundation of everythingWhen he speaks it's warm, resonant, it vibrates in my chestThey talk about the colors of the waterWhere the monkeys chatter so much, but it means to be usThere's no gap between us, no hesitationNo hiding, it's completeIt's a feast, right?Everywhere you look, tastes the explosion in your mouthWe're completely freeExcept in the centre the tree of knowledge of good and evilIt's the only boundary line in the world without wallsGod is very clear, don't touch itThe day you eat it, you die"Die", the word just hangs in the airIt means nothing to usWe trust it, of course we doBut I find myself near it more oftenThan I admit, it's stunningThe fruit looks differentDoesn't just look delicious, it looks wiseEve, one day by the tree, and there's this voiceSmooth like polished stoneIt belongs to the serpent, the most cleverThe most beautiful of them allHe doesn't show itHe doesn't threaten, he just asks a question"Did God really say you can't eat from any tree? "It's a simple questionBut it shifts the entire world on it's axisSuddenly, the God who gave us everything, sounds restrictiveThe serpent tells me I will dieTells me my eyes will be opened, that'll be like GodThat's the lure, it's not rebellion, dissensionIt's the promise of moreHe makes it sound like God is holding out on usThe fruit is heavy on my handIt's skin is smooth, cool to the touchThe tension is unbearable, imbibedThe taste isn't just sweet or bitterIt tastes like everything at onceThe world tilts, she brings it to me, her eyes are wildMy gut screams that, "This is wrong"My parter, my reflection, she is still standingI trust her more than I trust the voice of God, I eatAnd instantly, the light fracturesIt's like a mere, shattering inside my soulThe air turns cold, I look at Eve, and she looks at meAnd for the first time, I mean really for the first timeI see we are exposed, vulnerable, nakedThis is shame, we scrambled, panickedWe grabbed these big, rough, fig leavesStichin' them to gatherThey scratched my skin, they covered nothingAnd then we hear it, His footstepsThe sound that used to mean love, that used to mean safetyNow means dread, absolute dreadWe run, we hide in the thickest, darkest bushWe could find, holding our breathAnd then His voice, it's not angry, not shoutingIt's worse, it's heartbroken, "Where are you? "He knows exactly where we are physicallyHe's asking where we've gone relationallyWhere we stand, trembling, covered in itchy leavesThe question comes, gentle, but firm"What have you done? Did you eat the fruit? "Is this where the fracture deepens? The break spreads?I look at the woman I love, and point"Is this the woman you gave me? I blame her? I blame Him? "And I point to the serpent, he tricked meThe blame shifts faster and fasterWe throw responsibilities anywhere, but ourselvesAnd the verdict comes downThat the world is broken now, because we broke itThe ground will fight us, Earth will be a battleRelationships will be complex, painful, and deathThat word we didn't understand nowHas a shape, it has our shapeBut then the strangest momentHe kneels down, he takes an animalOne of the creatures Adam namedIt's the first death we witnessedAnd he makes clothes for our skins that are heavyAnd they smell of loss, and they cover the shameThe fig leaves was our idea, the covering is hisIt's this terrifying tender momentHe's judging us, yes, but he hasn't abandoned usBut we can't stay, we've chosen knowledge over intimacyHe walks us to the edge of the gardenThe air gets thinner out here, the ground is hard on my feetAs we take that final step out of Eden, he looked backAnd it's overwhelming, a celestial beingAn angel blazing with light and fireHolding a soar than spunLike it's a whirlwindThe gates slammed shut with a soundThat echoes across the universeWe're outside, it's cold, the sun is settingWe lost a paradise, we lost an unbroken connectionWe broke the worldAnd that's how the silence began, the separationBut as we walked away into the dustAnd the thorns we carriedA strange promise with us would whisperFrom God about a coming saviorSomeone who would crush the serpent's headThe door to the garden was closedBut the Story of God was just beginning
