Tree of Life and Death - Cathedral

In the garden of creation stands a skeletal tree

Hanging from it’s branches afterbirth of Adam and Eve

Blossomed in mutation rotted through centuries

Tortured minds of heinous crimes plague God’s family

Procreation from decay and sand

Transmutation pains this fated land

Lifeless earth, all love bereft

No life left — on the tree of life and death

Slug like dead existence, our fetid hunger breeds

Master of future decay — sowed his deadly seed

Root of evil ate away our fruits of destiny

Thorns of human nature stabbed hearts of the free

Procreation from decay and sand

Transmutation pains this fated land

Lifeless earth, all love bereft

No life left — on the tree of life and death

Ogau, Mulangam Kalumba

Kinta, Oloron, Makaru

Original sin

In the garden of existence

Hanging from temptation’s tree

There’s a carnival of mutations

Growing from man fated seed

Lezn, Marasa, Chiata

Nxambi, Osawa, Zanabary

God’s offspring ate the apple creating lust, envy

Sucking, puking leaches, a catastrophe of greed

Garden of temptation, lured by serpent’s creed

Moral desolation, man eternally diseased

Procreation from decay and sand

Transmutation pains this fated land

Lifeless earth, all love bereft

No life left — on the tree of life and death
