I am Lilith, created from the same clay
bow down to you? I will not obey
my entire life was destroyed and ripped apart
sanity lost, I embrace the dark
the gentle dark, that helped me escape
the gentle dark, where I finally regained
all of the pieces that shattered like glass
fire burned as it melted and formed in the ash
to you I’m vile, my tainted soul
evil and dark, with lack of control
by man, you see she’s become like me
she’ll never be as your precious Eve
the gentle dark, that helped me escape
the gentle dark, where I finally regained
all of the pieces that shattered like glass
fire burned as it melted and formed in the ash
a creature that was never meant to be
rebirth of Lilith - finally freed
she was not created from your rib to serve and please
she will not bend to your will, for she is molded from me
I am Lilith, we once were made from the same clay
now Queen of the Dark, kneel down and pray
