Perdition from the Garden of Eden

Being exiled from the Garden of Eden
|
|
for the crime of heresy to the heathens
|
|
who dance in the twilight, praise to old gods on their lips
|
|
and pass around a jug of man's tears, from which they take delicate
|
|
sips
|
|
|
|
Although I know in a man's arms I shall never stay
|
|
I refuse to deny the way
|
|
this heavy crown of bone hangs on my head
|
|
a weighty reminder to things better left unsaid
|
|
|
|
to those who would strip my individual rights
|
|
in the pursuit of abolishing the male blight:
|
|
Why should I believe that, with you, I'll be saved,
|
|
when you'll gladly push the human race into the grave?
|
|
|
|
My art is indicative of no other feelings than mine.
|
|
How dare you attempt to claim a piece of my Divine!
|
|
To follow a legacy of bitterness and hatred-
|
|
No more! I will profane all you hold sacred.
|
|
|
|
So tell me,
|
|
why should I worship Aphrodite?
|
|
Me, the loveless, forlorn,
|
|
setting out alone on these foreign shores?
|
|
|
|
Keep your rituals and your tribes.
|
|
I refuse to waste my life
|
|
subservient to a deity
|
|
who would condemn me,
|
|
forgetful, to
|
|
die.
