The Gun Tree

1.
A gun tree grew in eden
with automatic fruit
but it had been forbidden;
men were not meant to shoot.

 

2.
God made them to be gentle;
to love life and be kind
thus the gun was instrumental
in the fall of human kind.

 

Chorus:
Because Adam took the gun
and he pressed upon its trigger;
killing creatures just for fun
'cause it made him feel much bigger.

 

And he saw the wild beasts run
from the lightning in his hand.
He said, "Now I have the gun
I'm the creature in command".

 

3.
But then God looked down and saw
all the blood that stained his son.
"What are you so bloody for?",
he asked him, "What have you done?".

 

4.
"I had hoped you'd never know
about violence and hate.
Now, out of my garden, go.
You are lost. It is too late".

 

Chorus 2:
So then Adam was expelled
from that paradise on Earth.
Now he'd live and die aswell
and ever since, thats been man's curse.

 

But God said, "You may return
and mans sufferings may cease.
If mankind can only learn
to live as one in love and peace".
