[timid whispering and spoken] Where Eden once with blossoms bled, A wasteland now of thorns and dread. The serpent's tongue, a forked decree, Has turned the fruit to misery. [silence, a stifled laughter] [soft piano set in playing a sadly melody] [Verse 2] [soft speaking to low singing] No apple sweet, but bitter root — The vines consume the wanderer's foot. The soil drinks tears, the air eats screams, A garden born of horrible dreams. [Verse 3] The primal nature is a force, a gale, A wildfire racing through the vale, An unbridled power, vast and deep, Awakens from its ancient sleep, [sadly singing Chorus] You thought you were in control, a wielder of the flame, A puppet master pulling strings, a champion of the game. You chained the river, graphed the wind, and numbered every star, But nature's song is not a tune you dictate from afar. [Dramatic interlude with piano] [Verse 4] The holy Lamb is not so mild — It gathered seven heads, and smiled. It broke the seven seals of fate, And opened hell's forgotten gate. [Verse 5] The horsemen ride on hooves of flame — Conquest, War, and Famine came. Death brings up the rear with skill, They rack and break mankind's will. [Verse 6] The demons crawl from yawning cracks, They stitch their names on human backs. The devils dance to screams and cries, Beneath the black and starless skies. [Verse 7] And Satan sits upon his throne Of flesh and blood and shattered bone. His crown is wrought from broken pledge, His scepter is a traitor's edge. [suing belting Step-up Modulation Chorus] You thought you were in control, a wielder of the flame, A puppet master pulling strings, a champion of the game. You chained the river, graphed the wind, and numbered every star, But nature's song is not a tune you dictate from afar. [Piano interlude flows to silence, Outro] [Verse 8] [low spoken words] The reign of darkness has no end — No savior comes, no light to mend. The Garden of Eden is hell's own name, And all the world burns in his flame.
