First Mother (Lilith) Lyrics

Awake, awake your eyes - or be forever fallen.[i] Sister, can you see me through the boundaries of this garden?[ii] When every man will take your voice, every God will fate your end.[iii] You planted paradox in the center of our humanity; my ambivalent proclivity for insufficiency.

Should I sleep or should I die alone? Life to death or flesh to decompose. You captured me.
I'm awakened by a fate that screams: "You will bear the weight to give this world a beating heart that never ends."

Now bring me a love that will live and die by my every word I speak. Won't you lie in this bed that we have made?[iv]
I must become something more than this.
Should I sleep or should I die alone? Life to death or flesh to decompose. You've captured me.

Should I sleep or should I die alone? Should I die alone? Life to death or flesh to decompose.

You've captured me.
