In the eyes of Eve was not Evil But a desire of love for to know, And the act of Adam was not bad The act of Love to show. Nor was the eyes of woman evil That hold love in their hearts within, Nor evil are the lusts of men: Evil are those who call it sin. And those who love have never known And to never know it, have planned Live not in the world of men And so cannot understand. For he he who to love has closed his heart, Never love will know,
And he who has never known love Never love can show.
In the arms of Eve was not evil For how can it evil be
Regardless of state of undress, your love to caress The reasoning I cannot see.
To have the arms of a lady
Around you in sweet embrace Is no sin when she don't belong to another, No evil is within her face.
So, was there Evil in Eden? Does the Good Book deceive? Tell us a lie and not why, As the Gnostics believe? The Bible is but a book With any opinions within Hearts of good and evil find their kind, And mark out what they call sin.
The serpent that spoke, spoke not of evil As he dangled from the tree Oh no, for love would have found its way, And so, not evil was he.
And the heel that stamps him to the dust And said that all others likewise should, Knows only evil in his heart, As to know love he never could. For a man or woman who truly loves And their love they share Are loved by God on his own For He knows what's truly there, In the deepest cavern of their hearts, From all the world hid
It matters not the ceremonies of man, To heaven, on death, they'll be bid.
