Forbidden fruit
Forgotten past
Long hand moving
Time heal fast

Born of sin
Expected truth
This righteous path
Shift or move

Slight of conscious
Human nature
Will to live
Hence; nothing greater

Carry burden
Throughout our days
When pure emotion
Alters fate

Toward the heavens
Some will seek
Observing angels
Pray for we..

Forbidden passion
Squandered youth
Material seeking
Casual; doom

Pleasure purpose
Hollow myth
Submissive mind
Eternal rift

Searching knowledge
Within our pain
A wayward forward
Promised shame

Time to share
A solemn stance
For all above
The mortal plan

The leaf of life
Branch of hope
For in thy self
Find kindest roads
