[Verse 1] In the garden shade, you heard it first A voice in the throat of the turning earth Not ruin, not rage, but a sacred spark A door in the fruit, a light in the dark It said, “You will know” And the word burned slow Not a liar’s grin But a secret within [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the branch Heart at the ledge Truth in the body Fear on the edge If you never reach You never see If you never fall You never read [Chorus] Open your eyes Open your eyes The serpent speaks The hidden light Open your eyes Open your eyes Without that choice We stay in night [Verse 2] They called it a curse They called it a snare But knowledge was standing Right there in the air A voice from the wild A crown in the grass Saying, “You can become What you could not pass” And every throne That clenched control Kept the human tongue From a fuller soul [Pre-Chorus] Gate by gate They locked the mind Fear made holy Blindness kind But names mean less When the garden’s lost And every safe road Has a higher cost [Chorus] Open your eyes Open your eyes The serpent speaks The hidden light Open your eyes Open your eyes Without that choice We stay in night [Bridge] If disobedience Was the first key Then ignorance Was the chain we breathed No forbidden step No mortal shame Just children sleeping Inside the same [Breakdown] Hiss of the witness Stone in the throat Word after word Now the future floats [Final Chorus] Open your eyes Open your eyes The serpent speaks The hidden light Open your eyes Open your eyes Without that choice We stay in night Open your eyes Open your eyes The garden broke And so did night
