"Genocide"


Before Eve was destined to stand by Adam’s side
There was Lilith who refused to be his bride
Brought up equally with knowledge of the earth
Of life and death and cycles of rebirth

But then Satan made a serpent out of her
To pour God’s wrath upon the daughters of the earth
Raging genocide against the goddess tribes
Who were sacrificed before Christ

Once Eve and Adam fell from heaven’s grace
Heads of church and state arose to take their place
Passing laws from fathers to their oldest sons
To control their wives and property as one

While the antichrist draws power by the sword 
False prophets sanction violence by God’s word
From the matriarchs to the patriarchs
Bearing sacred scars from “holy wars”

It took Jesus Christ descending into hell
To dispel the myths concealing God’s true will 
Healing wounds to raise the dead and bring new life 
Until no more blood is shed or sacrificed

So how can we
Covet land and colonize the poor
Selling young
Children worked to death on sweatshop floors

Modern genocide of the native tribes
We still sacrifice after Christ
Falsely justified in the name of Christ
Who was crucified to end all strife
