For dost thou not know thy true nature?
For messages of eternity, time shrouded in mystery. For those children forever dwell in the dark,
Never reaching the forbidden fruit.
For we ask ourselves, 'Is this divine fruit all that?' For thou art the consequences that might very well become dire.
So, do we ask, who caused this fruit to grow? Was it the Lord? Or the devil, the king of mischief who reigns over us
With eternal damnation? Will our suffering ever end?
With just our teeth sinking into the forbidden fruit?
No! It is the cause of eternal burning in this life and the afterlife.
For are we truly allowed to enter the Garden of Eden?
The place where the Lord was said to walk with us, mere mortals?
Is thy suffering destined to end, or last an eternity?
What is it truly? Is it the air that we breathe, or is it our right?
For are we truly gods? Or have we forsaken that right? Can our children live in the darkness of the night?
Shall we ask why? Why do we lie and fight, not to die?
For what? Gender, race, or is it to strengthen our military might?
For why do we drag nature and this planet into our eternal dance?
Death and peace, peace and death. We burn our world, creating our untimely demise.
Our ancestors passed down their torch, their light!
For the layers that protected us are dying with our pride.
For can we not see the horizon? Or the crashing tide?
I can't breathe, I thought tonight. Can't we stop the discrimination, once and for all?
If we refuse to create a new world, we will all be motionless, just like a doll.
Please, can you not see this ghastly sight? My last message before we cry tonight.
Women and men, join hands and sing a chime, for dost thou not know?
God loves all His children with all His might
And that is the truth to life.
