Based on Genesis 2 & 3 - Paradise Undone


[Verse 1]
From the dust You shaped my skin,
Breathed fire into hollow bone.
I walked with You in golden winds,
In a garden I’d never own.

You carved her from my side —
Not above, not beneath —
But beside me in the quiet,
Where innocence held its breath.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I named the beasts,
But never knew my own heart.
The trees whispered truth,
But we tore it all apart.

[Chorus]
This is paradise undone,
A flame at the gates, and we run.
Love was bone, now it breaks —
Two hearts clothed in a whisper of shame.
You said it was good,
But good doesn’t last in me.

[Verse 2]
Naked in the knowing —
Shame drips like morning dew.
The serpent sang softly,
But I chose to hear You.

Hands stained with want,
Eyes wide with despair.
We made gods of silence
And drowned in the air.

[Breakdown]
I heard Your voice—
But I turned my face.
The warning was clear,
Still I reached for disgrace.

You called me “alive,”
But I chose the grave.
I had everything,
And I gave it away.

[Bridge]
Take back this rib,
Take back this breath,
If all that we touch
Just leads to death.
We were whole in the dirt,
But broken by choice —
Now even Your love
Sounds like a distant voice.

[Final Chorus]
This is paradise undone,
A flame at the gates, and we run.
Love was bone, now it breaks —
Clothed in a whisper of shame.
We walked with You once —
Now we hide from the sun.

[Outro]
He formed us from dust…
And to dust we return.
