The Garden Of Earthly Delights Lyrics
Born from the void and still pristine
Tranquil, vast and cold
See the orb of blue and green
When he spake the light shone gold
Brought to life, in the image of god
In this holy place
settled amoung the creatures odd
Eve, dear girl, avert thy gaze
Claims to love them all
his world below
Minding not their fall
a mirthful show
Merriments in the centerpiece
Weird things in galore
Is this the cradle of the disease
that man alone must answer for?
Joy and delight, forever ceased
Sufferings abloom
Eaten alive by the cauldron beast
Let the drones ring to the sound of doom
Tranquil, vast and cold
See the orb of blue and green
When he spake the light shone gold
In this holy place
settled amoung the creatures odd
Eve, dear girl, avert thy gaze
his world below
Minding not their fall
a mirthful show
Weird things in galore
Is this the cradle of the disease
that man alone must answer for?
Sufferings abloom
Eaten alive by the cauldron beast
Let the drones ring to the sound of doom
The Garden of Earthly Delights expresses the fears that dominated life in the Middle Ages-the insatiable weakness of man for not resisting sinful physical temptation, and eternal damnation in hell as just punishment of lustful human folly.
