Paradise Lost

The dragons of Eden claw at my heart, They give me no relief; I agreed to this, and like a good slave I pretend he's Adam and I'm Eve I go through the motions, doing what I'm told, I've a promise to fulfill; But I can't continue this masquerade, I'm tired, and I've lost the will Lord, open the gate and let me leave, Don't make me complete this task; I have no love left to give this man, I cannot do what you ask Now the fruit on the tree is rotting, The garden was never a delight; I obeyed your laws as best I could - Take this burden from me tonight Forgive me, I can no longer serve you, Banish me from this garden, O Lord; Let me go to the one who owns my heart, And Paradise will be restored!
