LILITH

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

[Verse]

She rose from dust

But walked in fire

A serpent's grin

Ignites her desire

No crown

No grace

No sacred name

A dark queen who

Plays no games

[Chorus]

Lilith...Lilith

She's as dark as the night

A stealer of souls

A devourer of light

Not a goddess

Not divine

A curse that lingers

The bitter fruit of the vine

[Verse 2]

She whispers lies

In midnight's ear

A lover's touch that

Birthed the fear

No cradle babe safe

No breath could stay

Her hunger burned

Where men lay

[Chorus]

Lilith...Lilith

She's as dark as the night

A stealer of souls

A devourer of light

Not a goddess

Not divine

A curse that lingers

The bitter fruit of the vine

[Bridge]

The wind howls her laughter

Sharp as a blade

The moon hides its face

The stars start to fade

No altar for her

No prayers to be said

She walks in the ashes

She feeds on the dead

Chorus]

Lilith...Lilith

She's as dark as the night

A Stealer of souls

A devourer of light

Not a goddess

Not divine

A curse that lingers

The bitter fruit of the vine

Lilith...Lilith
