Before the fall There was breath I am Adam The dust that learned how to breathe Awakened clay When the Breath chose to stay I was the silence Before the first desire A vessel of earth Holding infinite fire The tree was not the end It was a passage The fruit was not evil It was courage Freedom is a blade of light Cutting through the veil I chose And Eden shattered into light Not destruction But the world waking up inside Not a mistake But awareness in ignition A slow descent Into creation I see you now My echoes in time You carry my clay You carry my design I see Cain In every fist that tightens And Abel still bleeding Where the wound never silences Free will Fire in human hands Not the serpent Not the woman But the weight of knowing And choosing anyway Claim the clay Claim the breath I chose And Eden fractured into truth The fall was not the end It was the path we moved through To stumble is the lesson To exist is the prayer Freedom Our final inheritance Choose The clay is still waiting I am Adam And you are my echo
