The Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden has been turned into a Theatre of War
A savage garden where only the games of violence are played
Memorials are built to the slaughter of innocence
And people gather, once again, for the lilies of peace to be laid
Love opens the doors of Heaven
It's only to hate that they appear to close
Man has always been at war with himself
When it's only peace and love for him God chose
Who is it that orchestrates such carnage?
Sending around the world a wave of fear
Brothers in arms who do not recognise each other
See not the Genesis garden that is so near
Germinate not the seeds of war
Let the buds of love now bloom
Let the foundations of compassion blossom
And listen not to the Prophets of Doom
