Before the first shadow touched our hearts there was only light

在悲伤涌入内心前世间唯有光明

I'm not just talking about the sunlight

我说的不只是穿透树冠

Though it filtered through the canopy like liquid gold

如液态黄金般温暖我肌肤的阳光

Warm on my skin I'm talking about life

我指的是生命本身

The air itself tasted sweet like honey and rain

连空气都似蜜雨般清甜

Everything hummed

万物和谐低吟

The garden wasn't just a place we lived it breathed with us

伊甸园不仅是我们的居所更与我们同处一片蓝天

There was no fear here fear hadn't even been invented yet

这里没有恐惧因为恐惧还未诞生

A lion this massive beautiful creation

雄狮这般雄伟的生灵

Would lean his heavy head into my touch

会将沉重的头倚靠在我掌心

Everything was connected

万物相互连结

Everything was exactly as it was meant to be

一切皆如注定般完美

And Eve when I look at her

当我凝视夏娃

I finally understand what God meant when He said

终于明白神明为何要感叹一句

"Very good"

甚好

And then there's Him

而后祂降临

It's the cool of the day that's when He comes

总在日暮微凉时分如约而至

You always know when He is near

他靠近时你总能感知到

The air changes

连气氛也在意料之中改变

Expectant like the atmosphere itself is leaning in to listen

仿佛天地都屏息倾听

We hear the sound first not heavy footsteps

我们最先听见的并非沉重的脚步声

But a shifting of the atmosphere

而是氛围的流转

A weight of goodness moving through the trees

圣洁的气息穿行林间

And we run we run toward the sound

我们朝着圣音奔去

His voice it isn't just sound

神明的话语不仅是声响

It's the foundation of everything

更是万物的基石

When He speaks it's warm

当祂开口温暖深沉的声音

Resonant it vibrates in my chest

在我心间回荡

We talk about the colors of the water

我们谈论斑斓水色

Why the monkeys chatter so much

猴群喧闹不休

What it means to be us

却道尽我们的本真

There's no gap between us

我们之间没有隔阂

No hesitation no hiding it's complete

无需迟疑不必隐瞒如此完满

It's a feast right?

这岂非盛宴

Everywhere you look

目光所及之处

Tastes the explosion in your mouth

都能体会到迸发而出的美好

We're completely free

我们无拘无束完全自由

Except in the very center

矗立在园中央那颗

The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

分别善恶的智慧树

It's the only boundary line in a world without walls

是这世上唯一没有围墙的界限

God is very clear "Don't touch it

上帝明确告诫不可触碰

The day you eat it you die"

若打破禁忌必死无疑

Die?

死

The word just hangs in the air

这个词含义还不确定

It means nothing to us

所以对我们毫无意义

We trust Him of course we do

我们当然信靠祂毫无疑问

But I find myself near it more often than I admit

但我发现自己常不自觉靠近那树我承认

It's stunning

它确实美得惊艳

The fruit looks different

树上的果实看起来与众不同

Doesn't just look delicious it looks wise

不仅诱人更显智慧

Eve

夏娃

One day I'm by the tree and there's this voice

那日我在树下听到一个声音

Smooth like polished stone

丝滑流畅如磨光的石子

It belongs to the serpent the most clever

那是蛇发出的声响

The most beautiful of them all

这世上最狡黠最美丽的生灵

He doesn't shout he doesn't threaten

它不露锋芒也不威吓

He just asks a question

只是轻声发问

"Did God really say you can't eat from any tree?"

上帝当真说过你们不可吃园中任何果子

It's a simple question but it shifts the entire world on its axis

看似简单一问却让天地为之倾覆

Suddenly the God who gave us everything sounds restrictive

那位赐予万物的神忽然显得如此专制

The serpent tells me I won't die

蛇低语我会永生不死

Tells me my eyes will be opened

又说我的天眼会打开

That I'll be like God that's the lure

如神明能知善恶这是诱惑

It's not rebellion it's ascension

不是逆反不是纷争

It's the promise of more

而是对更多可能性的保证

He makes it sound like God is holding out on us

听起来仿佛上帝对我们有所保留

The fruit is heavy in my hand

手中的果实沉甸甸

Its skin is smooth cool to the touch

果皮光滑触感清凉

The tension is unbearable I bite

这难以忍受的诱惑让我沉醉其中

The taste isn't just sweet or bitter

滋味不仅是甜或苦

It tastes like everything at once the world tilts

而是瞬间尝尽万物天地倾覆

She brings it to me her eyes are wild

她将果实递给我眼中闪烁着疯狂

My gut screams that this is wrong

心里有个声音叫嚣着不对劲

My partner my reflection she is still standing

我的伴侣我的倒影还在原地一动不动

I trust her more than I trust the voice of God

我信她胜过上帝的恩典

I eat and instantly the light fractures

一口咬下去圣光瞬间破碎

It's like a mirror shattering inside my soul

仿佛灵魂深处彻底碎裂

The air turns cold

寒气瞬间袭来

I look at Eve she looks at me

我与夏娃四目相对

And for the first time I mean really for the first time

这是我们第一次真正意义上的第一次

I see we are exposed vulnerable naked

看清彼此身上真正脆弱的地方

This is shame

这种羞耻感

We scramble panicked

让我们惊慌失措

We grab these big rough fig leaves stitching them together

抓起粗糙的无花果叶手忙脚乱遮身蔽体

They scratch my skin they cover nothing

叶片刮擦皮肤却什么也遮不住

And then we hear it His footsteps

然后我们听见祂的脚步声传来

The sound that used to mean love that used to mean safety

那曾象征关怀与庇护的声音

Now means dread absolute dread

此刻只意味着恐惧绝对的恐惧

We run we hide in the thickest

我们四下逃窜藏进最茂密

Darkest brush we can find holding our breath

最幽暗的树丛屏住呼吸

And then His voice it's not angry not shouting

祂的声音没有愤怒没有斥责

It's worse it's heartbroken "Where are you?"

却更糟糕更让人心碎你们在哪里

He knows exactly where we are physically

他当然知道我们的确切位置

He's asking where we've gone relationally

他问的是我们的关系走到哪儿了

Where we stand trembling covered in itchy leaves

我们颤抖站立满身刺痒的树叶

The question comes gentle but firm

那质问温柔却坚定

"What have you done? Did you eat the fruit?"

你们到底做了什么可曾偷尝禁果

Is this where the fracture deepens?

裂痕是否在此加深

The break spreads?

隔阂是否在蔓延

I look at the woman I love and I I point

我望向挚爱的女人指着她问道

"The woman You gave me" I blame her

这个女人是你赐予我的吗我先怪她

I blame Him

又怪祂

And I point to the serpent "He tricked me"

然后又指向那条蛊惑我的蛇

The blame shifts faster and faster

推诿的矛头越转越快

We throw responsibility anywhere but ourselves

我们互相推责却不曾责怪自己

And the verdict comes down the world is broken now

最终审判降临宣告世界因此破裂

Because we broke it

皆因我们打破了禁忌

The ground will fight us birth will be a battle

大地将与我们为敌生命的降临也将变得困难重重

Relationships will be complex painful and death

人际关系将变得复杂痛苦煎熬死局难破

That word we didn't understand now has a shape

那个我们不懂的词语如今有了形态

It has our shape

正是我们的模样

But then the strangest moment

但最奇妙的是

He kneels down He takes an animal

祂俯身取来一只动物

One of the creatures Adam named

那是亚当曾命名的生灵

It's the first death we witness and He makes clothes for us

这是我们第一次目睹死亡祂用皮毛为我们缝制衣裳

Skins that are heavy and they smell of loss

那身厚重的皮衣弥漫着失落

And they cover the shame the fig leaves were our idea

遮住了羞耻用树叶蔽体是我们的主意

The covering is His

而皮衣是祂对我们的恩赐

It's this terrifying tender moment

在这可怕又温柔的时刻

He's judging us yes but He hasn't abandoned us

祂在审判我们没错但他并未抛弃我们

But we can't stay we've chosen knowledge over intimacy

我们不能停留我们已选择了解真相放弃亲密

He walks us to the edge of the garden

祂护送我们到伊甸园门口

The air gets thinner out here

园外空气稀薄

The ground is hard under my feet

土地坚硬硌脚

As we take that final step out of Eden

当我们踏出伊甸园的最后一步

We look back and it's overwhelming a celestial being

回首凝望神明的形象震撼人心

An angel blazing with light and fire

天使绽放光与火

Holding a sword that spins like a whirlwind

手持旋风般旋转的长矛

The gate slams shut with a sound that echoes across the universe

天门轰然关闭声响回荡寰宇

We're outside it's cold

出了园外寒冷刺骨

The sun is setting we lost paradise

日暮西沉我们失去了乐园

We lost the unbroken connection we broke the world

丧失永恒联结我们摧毁了这个世界

And that's how the silence began the separation

寂静由此降临离别由此诞生

But as we walked away into the dust and the thorns

不过当我们踏入荆棘尘世

We carried a strange promise with us

仍带着那个非同一般的应许

A whisper from God about a coming savior

上帝承诺我们会有救世主降临

Someone who would crush the serpent's head

他必会击碎那毒蛇的头颅

The door to the garden was closed

伊甸园的大门已经关闭

But the Story of God?

但神明的故事

It was just beginning

才刚刚启篇
