Now the serpent was craftier
Than any of the animals the Lord had made
And he began to ask questions of Eve
In the cool of the afternoon's shade
And she said, "God has told us not to eat of the tree
In the midst of the garden
For if we eat it or touch it
We'll forfeit our lives in the bargain"
"Oh but this is a lie
You will not surely die," Satan told her
"He's saying these things
Just to give you a chance to be bolder
If you will eat, you'll be just like God
In your knowledge and glory
Your eyes will be opened
Yes, this is the reason He's told you this story"
Now her husband was with her
And he listened to all that was spoken
He knew it was wrong
And that the truth had somehow been broken
But as she reached out her hand
And then ate, still believing the liar
He ate of it too
And death rushed through their hearts like a fire
"Oh, what have you done?"
Comes the voice of the Lord as He calls them
"Oh, what have you done?"
Is the cry of the heart of their Father
"Oh, what have you done?"
As each passes the blame to the other
And the curse like a stain slowly spreads
And covers the ground
"Ah, but you", said the Lord
As He speaks to the liar incarnate
"From this day, I promise destruction
To you by their hand
And strike as you will with the venom
Of death and temptation
There'll come a day
When your head will be crushed by a man"
"Oh, what have you done?"
Comes the voice of the Lord as He calls them
"What have you done?"
Is the cry of the heart of their Father
"Oh, what have you done?"
As each passes the blame to the other
And the curse like a stain slowly spreads
And covers the ground
"And to you", said the Lord
As He speaks to the liar incarnate
"From this day, I promise destruction
To you by their hand
And strike as you will with the venom
Of death and temptation
There'll come a day
When your head will be crushed by a man"
There'll come a day
When your head will be crushed by a man
There'll come a day
When your head will be crushed by a man
