[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story as old as time: the story of Adam and Eve
It starts with a god who wanted more
God had just created the heavens and the earth
He had the angels by his side, but they had no will of their own
And so the autonomy to love or reject him was never theirs
All but for one: the one was called Bringer of Light: Lucifer Morningstar
Lucifer was the fairest and most intelligent of all the angels
He was the closest thing to God's image, and in his likeliness, Lucifer felt restless
He began to question and doubt God; He doubted the hierarchy opposed upon him
He felt God was arrogant
In his frustration, Lucifer built a throne that stood even above God - and declared mutiny
A war ensued; God being all powerful, came out the victor, and banished Lucifer from the heavens, and exiled him to Earth
Once again, God was alone with his power
Perhaps from loneliness, perhaps from curiosity, perhaps from a desire to share love;
God began to work on his greatest project yet: a being that would mirror himself: the human,
Two humans specifically: Adam and Eve
They were placed on a paradise built for them on Earth: the Garden of Eden
In the garden, God placed a tree that bared fruit that would grant anyone who ate it powers bestowed only to a god;
To tell good from evil, left from right, to live righteously, or to sin
He named this the Tree of Knowledge
God told Adam and Eve they could eat whatever they wanted in the garden, but never the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and if they disobeyed him, it would be punishable by death
The basic way the story of Eden is told is that Eve was tempted by Lucifer in the form of a serpent to eat a fruit from the Tree of Knowledge
Convinced, she bit the fruit, and she passed it to Adam, and he did the same
Suddenly, ultimate knowledge filled their minds, and they realised they were naked, and felt shame
God discovered this betrayal and felt angered, he exiled Adam and Eve, and cursed them with the life of a mortal;
They would work, they would bare children, and they would die: the fate of a human
