ROBERT WOLFGRAMM

1

He’s given us all

But we still want more

That’s the apple right there

Rotten to the core

Come on Eve

Hand it back

Come on Adam

What do you lack?

A sacrificial lamb

All mangled ‘n’ bleedin’

Did you see that coming?

From the Garden of Eden

2

He’s given us more

But we want it all

That’s the tree right there

That’s the Fall

Come on Jesus

Are we worth it?

All that power

You came to earth, it

Makes no sense

Leaves me wary

Did you carry the Cross?

From your Sanctuary

3

So where does it end?

This covetous lust

This more, more, more

Until we’re dust

This dissatisfaction

This itch, this pride

That speaks to snakes

Coiled deep inside

When you hear the news

Stay on your knees

It’s a rope or the nails

There are only two trees
