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.***

  1. Shit. I love that chorus. I picture the guitar taking a break and the drums going all tribal while a singing/talking voice went through the conversation. This sounds like a "tribal" song. Very good work. You need to find someone decent at guitar and get to work writing music. I'd help, but I'm still trying to learn the music writing process. Good luck.
