The Garden of Earthly Delights

PROLOGUE

Ipse dixit, et facta sunt
Ipse mandavit, et creata sunt

PART I: EDEN

Verse 1

Take my hand and there's no telling
All the wonders we will see
In this Paradise our dwelling
Where we eat of every tree

Chorus 1

Harmony between all things
In the Garden
All around creation sings
In the Garden

Verse 2

Both of us made for each other
I am yours and you are mine
Made one flesh to praise the Father
All according to design

Chorus 2

My soul's love is for you
In the Garden
My mind says it's good and true
In the Garden

PART II: THE GARDEN

Verse 1

I'll go where my feelings lead me
Don't care if it's right or wrong
My desires exist to feed me
And my mind just plays along

Chorus 1

Gotta find some other place now
Where I can quell my appetites
Heaven's joys won't satisfy me
I need a Garden of Earthly Delights

Verse 2

Here for me are all my wishes
Giant fruits and naked friends
Bubble boats and flying fishes
Carnal chaos never ends

Chorus 2

I don't need the trees of Eden
Or the Beatific light
Just the fruit that tastes so luscious
In the Garden of Earthly Delights

PART III: HELL

Verse 1

You chose to subject your reason
To the whims of your desires
Sinful pleasures for a season
Are rewarded with hellfire

Verse 2

Demons playing bagpipes greet you
Tree-Man wears a gruesome smile
Your new family wants to meet you
Won't you stay a little while?

Verse 3

See that fellow eating dinner
Prince of hell with cauldron crown
Watch as he devours sinners
And excretes them upside-down

Verse 4

Ears that wield a sharpened penknife
Hear the damned musicians play
You chose this in what was then life
Welcome home, you're here to stay
