Genesis 3:1–7, 14–15

The serpent whispers, the fruit is taken, and humanity’s story fractures. This song traces the deception in Eden, the curse upon creation, and the first promise that the seed of the woman will one day crush the serpent’s head. The battlefield of history begins here.

LYRICS

Intro

The garden breathes in silence,
A river of gold through emerald veins.
But in the shade, a voice coils low,
Whispers slither where the cool winds blow.

Verse 1

“Has God truly said?” the shadow hisses,
Eyes fixed on the fruit forbidden.
A spark of doubt, a seed of flame,
Desire dressed in a holy name.

Pre-Chorus 

Sweet on the tongue,
Eyes opened wide.
Naked in shame,
The truth denied.

Chorus 

Bite of the shadow, venom divine,
Eden is fractured, undone by the lie.
Cursed is the ground, torn by the fall,
Blood on the soil will answer the call.

Verse 2

Eyes unveiled, yet veiled in night,
They hide from love, they flee from light.
The serpent grins, the crown is lost,
The world enslaved at infinite cost.

Pre-Chorus

Thorns now grow,
Sweat and pain.
Dust to dust,
Ash remains.

Chorus

Bite of the shadow, venom divine,
Eden is fractured, undone by the lie.
Cursed is the ground, torn by the fall,
Blood on the soil will answer the call.

Bridge

“The seed of the woman shall crush your head,
Though you strike His heel in dread.
The shadow rises, the promise stands —
Salvation born from wounded hands.”

Final Chorus

Bite of the shadow, yet light will shine,
Eden is fractured, but hope survives.
The curse proclaimed, the promise still calls,
The serpent undone — redemption for all.

Outro

The garden weeps, the gates now close,
The shadow lingers, the exile knows.
But in the ashes, a fire ignites —
The dawn of war, the birth of light.

Eden's Shadow

Recorded in a bunker wired with rusted amplifiers and glowing CRT monitors.
Produced by Megaton Assault (DJ, J Burbs, with special assistance from rogue AIs).
Mixed in fallout dust, mastered in static.

Band Members (real and imagined):

DJ (The Raccoon) – Vocals, Rhythm Guitar (Jackson Rhoads V, tuned to rage)
J Burbs – Lead Guitar (Flying V, eternal dive-bombs)
The Evil Computer – Backup Vocals, Bass (clanking, distorted, never quantized)
Drum Machine 9000 – Drums (programmed to out-blast human limbs)

Special Thanks:
To the almighty pit, the radioactive riffs of the 80s, and the countless surveillance cameras still rolling after the bombs fell.
