The Secret

In the beginning
I was alone but I was free
To roam the earth
All the land and the seas
Now I sit here cursed
Underneath this tree
Starring at a half-eaten apple

It was the secret
She whispered in my ear
The darkness in her heart
She didn't want the world to hear
And when it all fell apart
It was her lips I should’ve feared
Not the viper in the garden

She said, Satan is a woman
It's not the snake, it was me
That sent that man to hell
Crawlin' on his knees
And time tells all
So, brother, do believe
That the Devil ain’t no dragon
No the Devil ain't no dragon
