Oh, Eden Lost!
How dearly do I mourn thy vanished shade,
That blissful state of innocence and cheer,
Where once I wandered, joyous, unperturbed,
By worldly knowledge or the taint of truth.
Would that I could return to simpler times,
When songs were pure, unmarred by hidden selves,
And every note a harmony divine,
Untouched by sordid tales of mortal lives.
Oh, cursed fruit of knowledge, doubly cursed!
Why didst thou tempt me from that fateful bough?
Now burdened am I with the weight of truth,
The fractured mirror of reality,
Reflecting visages that should lie hid,
Obscured from sight, that I might still remain
In blissful ignorance, unscarred by truth.
Once, I sang with heart and spirit free,
Untroubled by the shadows lurking near.
Now do I hear each karaoke note,
With echoes tainted by a knowledge gained,
Too dearly bought, too bitter a refrain.
Restore my ignorance, ye Heavens above!
Unmake the serpent's whispered, tempting hiss.
Let me forget what lies under the veil,
And dwell again in blissful Paradise,
Where knowledge dwells not, nor its bitter sting,
And joy is found in every song we sing.
