Lyrics: Mother Lilith After Eden

So if anyone knows the myth of Lilith, she's said to be this evil temptress who was believed to be the first wife of Adam. God kicked her out of eden when she refused to bow to Adam. I'm currently writing a movie about her, changed her story up a bit. Here is a song I wrote for a scene in the movie where she meets Kahli (the boy from my previous song titled "Walk On" ) and tells a bit of her story. I hope you guys like it <3

"Mother Lilith After Eden"

A story told through words of God paint lies
On a canvas held intact by nails that allowed my crucifixion
And one-sided crimes that faced poor jurisdiction
Casted out into dead man's land
Before he took hold of innocence and
Punishment fell upon you all.
Once equals before. You sent me down upon the earth's terrain
To walk the grass with your creation not side by side,
But to drag behind?
You made me an abomination!

***Keel to command lest ye fall victim to exile
There's a lot more to fear out there than you
Father, don't reprimand me. I've loved you all the while
But I refuse to bow down to your fool.

Relinquish independence now before you reach your end
My end can only come so soon, my dear.
Abandoned hope proved path of choice the day you lost your head
Farewell, stay well. But get me out of here.***

Revenge countered his highness as the present world was birthed.
Re-created with revisions through blood stained church glasses
New life manifested in thought of a woman scorned
On the eve of his gift of Eve to honor boy Adam.
In the masses, demon spawned in gold plated cradles
Behind walls. Hidden earth. Demons pawned their souls for a later
Promise a pay well its worth

***Keel to command lest ye fall victim to exile
There's a lot more to fear out there than you
Father, don't reprimand me. I've loved you all the while
But I refuse to bow down to your fool.

Relinquish independence now before you reach your end
My end can only come so soon, my dear.
Abandoned hope proved path of choice the day you lost your head
Farewell, stay well. But get me out of here.***

Soon came to pass, mortal sin became recognized
Beneath righteous hands, naked truth laid between the lines
Death reigned through time without just cause or question
Mothers of children left their homes for hell
Of course your heaven went missing
Archfiend seed received through unholy conception
Disastrous breed, relieved from grip, for so called redemption.

But now you're here. Delivered to me against everything evil
Untouched by blood of my name, so this means I can keep you
You'll never go away from me, I'll never let you leave
Boy you now belong to me. And I'll make you believe.

Child. Oh, my child. I'm your mama now.


***Keel to command lest ye fall victim to exile
There's a lot more to fear out there than you
Father, don't reprimand me. I've loved you all the while
But I refuse to bow down to your fool.

Relinquish independence now before you reach your end
My end can only come so soon, my dear.
Abandoned hope proved path of choice the day you lost your head
Farewell, stay well. But get me out of here.***

Music: Coheed And Cambria's The Velorium Camper II: Backend Of Forever

This is a song by my favorite band in the entire world, Coheed and Cambria. These guys are my heroes and some of the nicest, most awesome people I've ever met. Lyrics always get to me and this is one of their songs that's been hitting me super hard lately. <3


"Backend of Forever"
Rocked silent in a soft lullaby
Panic stirred me awakened by a ringing phone in time
Where and when would I see her?
Crazy were the words that scribbled out your mouth
I stuttered replacing your face to those words
Where and when would I kill her?
I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this
I wish...to the bitter end of my day
Well, where were you?

So you had your turn and you made it work
Now I'm the laughing stock of your joke
As crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you
Told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life
And I'll believe anything
I have no luck with girls

I overheard that you were unhappy too
Misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense
Over and out Connecticut
But you had your back turned as you faded away
At the end of my day I found out
You weren't worth what I thought of you
What I thought of you…

Write this down in your diary you abuse
Can we make plans can I just get through to you
Is this weird...do I scare her?
I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this
I wish...that you could share the love you'd shared with others, with me

So you had your turn and you made it work
Now I'm the laughing stock of your joke
As crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you
Told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life
And I'll believe anything
I have no luck with girls

I overheard that you were unhappy too
Misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense
Over and out Connecticut
But you had your back turned as you faded away
At the end of my day I found out
You weren't worth what I thought of you
What I thought of you…

This isn't love
So forever let it go...
Forever will it burn
This isn't love
There on the backend of forever
I wish I would never hurt again
I wish I would never hurt again
I wish I would never hurt again
I wish I would never hurt again

Merry Axe Mess everyone

<3 all around

Intros....

Hi sorry. I just posted a ton of shit and didn't even introduce myself. Sorry. :)

My name is Jazmin and I'm using this blog to showcase my favorite pieces of art, poems, and lyrics. All original work by me of course. If I decide to post others' work, I am definitely giving credit where credit is due. I shall post some randomness once in a blue. Sharing my loves and dislikes and such. BTW I use 'and such' a lot... :)

Thank you, my little creeps. I hope you enjoy what I've posted so far and what I post in the future <3

Lyrics: "Walk On"

This is actually a song I'm working on based off of a scene in a movie I'm writing. In Africa, war and disease plague a small home. One night, a boy sings to his brother, Kahli.

Walk On

The night reaches end
As we lie on this desert ground
Little brother look against those stars
Take in a glance of the world around
You. You're too young to know life as I
Too innocent to recognize the cry
I hear all the time

Mother's leaving soon
And I know its hard to comprehend
But I'm here for you, now
A broken home I'll try to mend
Don't let your head sink down
In this time of fear and circumstance
You're still just a boy
Don't let them take your happiness

This place is ours no more
Don't hinder thoughts of what use to be
Be advised what you're fighting for
Don't you dare come back for me


Walk on.
Don't look behind you, Kahli!
Close your eyes and turn away
You have to tread this road without me
The scene at play will cause delay
In your predetermined destination
No breathing life, resuscitation
Now. Now. Now.
Could you face the fate that you had feared
And would you stay until the smoke has cleared?
Go on. Walk on.

Morning rises
Along the side of our home
Resting in her bed,
The warm soaked rag upon her head
has finally turned cold
With her last breath, she spilled goodbyes
Words left her mouth a thousand times
Before. This time for sure .
She was gone from our lives.

A failed attempt of a final prayer
Before the foul stench creeped in the air
The first shot cracked my eardrum
Snatched attention
Eyes went out the window in search of
Some connection

Between sound and action
Curiosity caused distraction
Never stood a chance with the bashing
Against the door followed by crashing
Sounds.

This place is ours no more
Don't hinder thoughts of what use to be
Be advised what you're fighting for
Don't you dare come back for me

Walk on.
Don't look behind you, Kahli!
Close your eyes and turn away
You have to tread this road without me
The scene at play will cause delay
In your predetermined destination
No breathing life, resuscitation
Now. Now. Now.
Could you face the fate that you had feared
And would you stay until the smoke has cleared?
Go on. Walk on.

Poem: "Dreaming"

I tend to have very lucid dreams. I always write them down in detail . I use dreams as a way to escape into this amazing world where literally anything can happen...last year I had a dream of a boy I did not recognize. But I was so in love. I woke up not understanding why I had such a care for someone I didn't know. I wrote it down and this is what came up.

In Dreaming, She Wakes

So lucid is this dream she dreams.
A man is formed before her eyes
Starting with a torso
A strong torso in a black t-shirt.
From there, limbs grow
Outstretching are his tall legs and cozy arms
Feet, as large as canoes
Only leave bigger foot steps to follow in
Hands built to grab the bull by the horns
and hold the key to her heart
Fingers so soft to the tips
destined to make music for the gods
A long neck and a good head on his shoulders
On his head is a blank
Turns to a blur, turns to eyes
Soulful eyes, deep eyes, so deep.
Now stare into her
Breaking down every wall
She has built up until now
Those eyes alone are enough to kill her
And rebirth her and kill her again
A nose to smell her scent
And keep it in memory forever
Ears to listen to her chest beat
and for hearing her call his name
Lips finally
Those beautiful, amazing lips
That she has been wanting to kiss
Since she fell asleep that night

Poem: "Time2Go"

Sigh.. another one of me being really angry at this one person.... I remember I was in class with him at the time. He was talking with a friend about going to a party and scamming on girls. I was upset because we were acting nice and cuddly days before and now he was not talking to me. It was a yoyo effect in a sense and at this time I was just free writing what my heart was yelling to me in my ear...such angst...lol

Time2Go

Time to go my dear
Asshole piece of shit.
Like dangling a bone
In front of a dog, teasing
And I'm the bitch
That keeps falling for the trick

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, three times, four times
Too many times, loss count
Shame on me
Shamelessly, you took from me
My dignity. Just want to be
Alone and free?
So then why me?

You continue the games
It's always the same
Heads you win, tails I lose
I continue to cry, you continue to use
And use and use is all you do
"I tried, I tried" cried out the fool
You lie, you lie. You fell too soon

To deep. Too gone.
Come back. You're gone.
So why do you keep looking back?
The day is gone, night's back to black.
It hurts too much, you play too much
I don't want to play this game anymore
I fold.

Poem: "Bombs Bursting in Air"

I was fortunate enough to be in a gut wrenching, heartbreaking,soul stealing relationship at a tender young age. I was so incredibly in love that both him and I took the pain and kept going. Of course, it didn't end so well. It was too intense. Our love became a war. I saw it as every possible war that had occurred in history. It made me write this. I hated him. Now, I love him still as a person. I've grown. I know he has. We both still have a longs way to go though.... but this poem reminds of how defeated love can make you feel <3


Bombs Bursting in Air

Worn out.
You've weathered me thin
Tired of this endless fighting
There's no just cause for this raging war
No possibility of a victory strong enough
To outweigh the certainty of defeat
So I give up and I surrender
My arm could break if I stretched it any higher
With white flag in hand, What is left here to fight for?
Stuck here, exiled from that which I long to have
Long to be
You tell me
I don't care when in the end
Who's the one in the tiny corner,
In the dark and all alone?
Accompanied by murky puddles made from hours
Of crying out to you
Cursing the very air you breathe
Just breathing, sucking air right out of me
Exhaling that sweet breath that drew me to you
Sweet, sweet breath, not only reeking of your resentment
And I hear now your truths, only when you are on fire
With your sharpshooting words of hate and agitation
This false separation fools not even us
What more do you want
You've conquered my heart
Housed your soldiers in my temple
Build your empire on the weaklings of my soul
And now I am no more. I am worn out.
Unfit to flourish again, unable to rebuild myself
Fallen victim to the dead man's hope
Wanting to spend my life under your rule
My king, know this;
I've killed myself a thousand times over
And still, if given the chance
I'd do it all over again

Poem: "Journey"

This one comes after "She Called Out" It's death speaking to her as though he is in love with her... It also makes me think of two people just moving forward together, unsure of what's a head but ready for the journey none the less.

Journey

Let’s go away and stay gone forever, as we tread this road
This dirty road,
Ridden with muddy foot prints and rotting cadavers,
Their identities swollen up by the very path
we prepare to embark upon.
That stench of the fallen who thought they’d make it.
We know we’ll make it. We’ll keep going.
Pass those broken bones and bleeding hearts,
Looking down at them with a sense of superiority
because we know we’ll go further,
Yet be ever so careful as to not step on them
Preserving those final positions that their failure had left them in
That will never be us, we’re stronger wiser
Those piercing looks of the dreamless eyes by your feet haunt
As we see a glimpse of possible defeat
But still let’s go
No fear.
Just hear those voices warning us beyond those hills
And still let go
Doesn’t your heart ache to proceed as mine does?
Along this road, this dirty road.
Let’s go
Blindly against that screaming horizon
Following only the winds of change
And the beat of the drum that is the heart.
Oh the heart. It whispers weak like the desert breeze
But its song as heavy as the sun crashing down on us
The beading sweat racing down on your cheeks
I’ll wipe it with the back of my hand
And offer that same hand to you
I’ll show you that this path is not one of deception but one
of redemption
Together we can make it
Let me lead you
Even if I don’t know the way

Poem: "She Called Out"

This is one I wrote a few years ago. About a princess who is calling out to be rescued from her tower. Not by her prince, but by the sweet release of death.

She called out (Journey Prelude)

Tip toe don't make a sound
I want to scream out, but alas I am bound
By this metal that chains me to these blood soaked walls
I'm hidden in the shadows. My silent calls
Are all I have left
Ever since you left
I'm dying slowly, waiting to be saved
As my tears hit the floor, your path was paved
When it dragged me to my prison
And left me to die
But still I'm alive
And only god knows why
With his heavenly eye
He kept me alive
He knew you would come to relieve me of this hell
Cut through these chains and undo the spell
Day turns to night and still I wait
With each new sunrise, I question fate
I solemnly do swear
The years of despair
Were too much to bear
Oh hero, my champion, where for art thou?
You swore you'd be here by the sweat of your brow
That you'd conquer the beast
And grant my release
What's this? Could it be?
Has death finally
Decided to come for me?
Now what?

Cross Town Bus Through Apocalypse (Freewrite)

So I was riding the 96 cross town bus the other night and as I looked out at an empty central park I suddenly got the urge to write. I took out my iTouch (thanks for finally coming in handy for something other than music, mr.touch) and I started typing on the notepad. I kept writing and didn't read it until I was tucked in bed. I really like the picture it paints. Hope you like it also :)

"Cross Town Bus Through Apocalypse "

The bus takes me through central park and I see it burn.
Only I don't glance a second glance.
The land to dust the time has passed.
Across the floor spills the stories
of sad new yorkers and jogger by's.
Dog walkers yelled silent cries
out to empty space between the east and west sides
of the city that never sleeps.
In the window I say it to my face I look me in the eye.
I ask could I have helped? Would I have died?
I felt it coming as it grew near.
Did that shadow appear? The child with the tear
faint across the distance by the band shell
where we saw Nick cave song that song from me to you
Stars have their moment and then they die.
Now flesh and bone separated by rock and earth.
Delivered from the final draw
a palace falls. A kingdom crash
Empire of recoil and aftermath.
We wear the stench of death like a cashmiere sweater of the rack.
Belated realizations and deleterious reminders
cause actions controlled by feelings plagued by memories
of a time we once lived in.
Did we ever rule before?
To whom it may concern,
please watch over me.
