Lilith
Lilith
Lilith is the first woman, she came before Eve
But she grew wings, flew into the darkness and took her leave
Refusing to submit to Adam to whom she was betrothed
She left his side to become an immortal, an insatiable rogue
She rules the underworld with beauty and charm
Preying on men’s desires with intent to do them harm
Mothers find no peaceful place to rest their sleepy head
‘Cause she comes for baby boys as they lay at night in their beds
She lurks in the darkness in search of venerable beings
And will only discriminate if that red ribbon is plain to be seen
Her obsession with male dominance is her eternal fire
And she will go to any length to quench that limitless desire
Lilith is the first woman, she came before Eve,
She is a monster, chaotic, a renegade indeed
She rules without a conscience, she loves without a heart
The family is her kryptonite, of which she will never be a part
