Under The Cover Of Night
The time is here
And we are not going anywhere
But--stay on task (until we achieve
Our objective--ahead...
Under the cover of night)
To pick the "forbidden fruit"--
In the biblical Garden Of Eden--
In the name of
Victory over Evil.
The fruit is ripe for picking
And we're "gonna pick it,"
Under the cover of night--
That there be light of day
In Eden...for the long-suppressed
And--truly, for all the world.
The time of the end is now.
God be with us.
