about

From Book I of John Milton's "Paradise Lost," in which Milton asks for divine inspiration to tell the first-ever prequel to the Bible and, in doing so, justify the ways of God that might seem inexplicable.

lyrics

Of man’s first disobedience
and the fruit of that forbidden tree.
Whose mortal taste
brought death into the world.

With loss of Eden.
With loss of Eden.
It’s gone.

Sing, oh Heavenly Muse that, on the secret top
invoke thy aid to my song.
That with no middle flight intends to soar.

With loss of Eden
With loss of Eden

Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme, instruct me!
for thou knows; thou from the first.
What in me is dark
illume, what’s low raise to the height of this great argument.
I may assert eternal providence.
And justify the ways of God to men.

With loss of Eden
With loss of Eden
Let’s go.
