Eve’s Lament (Genesis)

A Home & A Hunger

Sep 7

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I wandered far away with my love
I feelthe tall grass on my legs
The sun is warm, the birds are singing
I should’ve run when I had the chance

Verse 2:
I felt him sliding up beside me
His words they played upon my pride
I felt the lie wrap all around me
I let his whisper hypnotize

Chorus:
Did He really say it? Why is He keeping you down?
Don’t you want to taste it? Freedom without Him around?
Don’t you want to know? Don’t you want to choose?
You want it, don’t you? Don’t you?

Verse 3:
I took the fruit of my desire
Sweet the poison in my mouth
Awake, awake the the fall, the fire
The lie constricts, the curse clamps down

Chorus

Bridge:
Shame the venom running through my veins
A curse, a cancer and my deathA
nd every childof mine, will feel the serpent’s bite
But one will crush his head
But one will crush his head
Oh come and crush his head!
Crush his head!
