I was born out of fiction to explain the affliction
Of the pain and the sorrows of man
I’m the source of addiction and old superstitions
To grasp what they can’t understand
And of the saint’s benedictions and the church’s restrictions
Fear not the wrath of my hand
For all the war and divisions and hateful contentions
It’s all part of some greater plan
Give my regards to Lilith; tell her I’ll never forget.
And for all of the sins that I should repent, for her I hold no regret.
