Lilith

This is the story of Lilith.
It all started because God was lonely.
To fix this, he made a world and a man inside of it
but the man told him “while it was nice being made in Your image Lord,
you see, that means that im lonely too…”

It’s possible a friendship could have started there,
and the existence could have been a buddy-comedy
but existence isn’t a buddy-comedy,
and men tend to try to fix the problem with practical solutions
instead of validating people’s emotions.
So God just created a woman instead.

He made her the way he made him
From the ground, then a puff of soul-
and they were people.
So, of course, their first idea was to fuck.

Adam invented the missionary position right there
But Lilith wasn’t into it
“Were equal, dude,” she said
“Lets 69- or what about that G-spot God put in your ass?”
Adam was freaked out.

“God, this is not what I asked for,” Adam said.
“I need something I can control.”
Adam didn’t know shit about love.
Neither did God or perhaps he didn’t care?
Which would mean the same thing…
My point is he did what Adam wanted,
and made him a subservient wife
out of one of Adam’s ribs,
because apparently, God made a few extra.

Lilith saw this and made her move
She uttered the hitherto ineffable name of god
And flew into the sky.
She may have been made of earth,
but she felt safer under the sea
The sea she chose is the same one
God would later split
After enslaving his chosen people
just to free them.
Which she decided was dumb.

Tonight, Lilith lays alone.
Darkness is her home.
Her only crime
was to ask for a kind of love
that hadn’t been invented yet.

She chose to be a demon rather than a slave.
She chose to eat babies rather than make them
in the fucked-up world that God made for man.

“This world is certainly in your image,” she said.
“It’s horrifying. Fuck you. I’ll eat any apple I see.
I will not bend the knee.
You should have made me first, not him.
By the time this is over,
I’m going to make you wish
you had never made me at all.”

Now Lilith is Queen of the Demons.
She makes her babies by stealing seed
from the sons of Adam
Every day, God kills a hundred of her children
So she makes a thousand just to spite him.

Some say she took a lover
In the form of Satan
Some say she’s single
Preferring to mingle
with all manner of God’s demented,
spurned and neglected children.

You didn’t hear this from me,
But some people say shes fucking God Himself.
I couldn’t tell you if its true,
But she’s the only being I’ve ever heard that rumor about,
which tells you everything you need to know
about Lilith, Queen of Demons
Red-headed Snake Woman
Master Of The Night.
