through the boughs of the garden - Lyndsie Alguire

She wandered through the garden fence And said, "I've brought at great expense A potion guaranteed to bring Relief from all your suffering" And though I said, "You don't exist" She grasped me firmly by the wrist Threw me down upon my back Strapped me to her torture rack And without further argument I found my mind was also bent Upon a course so devious It only made my torment worse She said, "I see you cannot speak Is it your voice that is too weak? Is it your tongue that is to blame? Maybe you cannot speak for shame Or has your brain been idle too And now it will not think for you?" I hastened to make my reply But found that I could only lie Like a fool I believed myself And thought I was somebody else But she could see what I was then And left me on my own again Like a fool I believed myself And thought I was somebody else But she could see what I was then And left me on my own again She wandered through the garden fence And said, "I've brought at great expense A potion guaranteed to bring Relief from all your suffering" And though I said, "You don't exist" She grasped me firmly by the wrist Threw me down upon my back Strapped me to her torture rack And without further argument I found my mind is also bent Upon a course so devious It only made my torment worse

Bring out your dead Bring me their heads An execution is at hand These are you false prophets selling you Armageddon These are the ones who are telling you that you are safe These are the ones who are taking your life away Day by day we cleanse the world of evil Yet, the blood is still on our hands Buried beneath the prayers of dead men And when there's nothing left There will be no one left to peel the guilt from our backs A flaw so fatal to our own survival Failure in the flesh Day by day we cleanse the world of evil Yet, the blood is still on our hands

When you walk in the garden In the garden of Eden With a beautiful woman And you know how you care And the voice in the garden In the Garden of Eden Tells you she is forbidden Can you leave her there? When you're yearning for loving And she touches your hand And your heart starts a-pounding And you're feeling so grand Can you leave her to heaven And obey the command Can you walk from the garden Does your heart understand? When you walk in the garden In the garden of Eden With a beautiful woman And you know how you care And the voice in the garden In the Garden of Eden Tells you she is forbidden Can you leave her there?

When you walk in the garden In the garden of Eden With a beautiful woman And you know how you care And the voice in the garden In the Garden of Eden Tells you she is forbidden Can you leave her there? Can you leave her there? Can you leave her there? Can you leave her there?
