Augustine - I. Pear Tree

Before the nimbus-crown
Before the Beatific Vision
There's the falling down
And the perdition

There was a pear tree out on the Algiers plain
(The Empire was still strong then)
Before the crucible and the labor-pains
Before the being born-again

The Serpent was a crafty devil indeed
Tempting you with what you'd always wanted
But you were already a bad, bad seed
Self-made and hellfire-haunted

Before the nimbus-crown
Before the Beatific Vision
There's the falling down
And the perdition

Trace it all back to that garden
Mischief and metaphor
Fatal slip and allegory
Or a pear tree, nothing more

Before the nimbus-crown
Before the Beatific Vision
There's the falling down
And the perdition
