The realm of Paradise, once so bright
Dulled by a man's fateful plight
Led astray from his Maker's design
A world of ease, now lost in decline
No more freedom, no more gain
Seduced by the fruit of pain
Forsaking his Lord's divine feast
Embracing the deceiver's deceit
No seed of remorse could be sown
In a garden where virtue had grown
A tragedy for the lion's noble heart
Yet bittersweet for the gentle dove's part
Men must toil the land with sweat-filled streams
Women endure pain in childbearing dreams
For one act of pride, the crown was lost
For one misstep, the gown was tossed
A foolish display, a tale of woe
A legacy of shame and sorrow to sow
Blameless claims now burdened with stains
Naked and ashamed, in sin's chains
She fell to the crafty serpent's spell
He partook to ensure all was well
A moment with the serpent's lies
Leads to ages of famished cries
But a breath with the Savior's light
Brings forth endless salvation, burning bright
