lyrics

I owe no debt
to the God who formed me
from the body of his creature,
nor to the serpent who coerced me.
It was all meant to be.

I am...no helpmeet
I am...not ashamed
I am...mother of sin
I am...mother of mo(u)rning.

I don’t regret
bringing sin onto the earth.
Let humanity not forget
my body gave it birth.
It was all meant to be.

I am...no helpmeet
I am...not ashamed
I am...mother of sin
I am...mother of mo(u)rning.

I loved my children
like God says he loves us,
but it was his hypocrisy
that brought murder upon us.
It was all meant to be.

I am...no helpmeet
I am...not ashamed
I am...mother of sin
I am...mother of mo(u)rning.
Knowledge gatherer.
Mother of murder.
Opener of gates.
Destroyer of gardens.
Sin bringer.
Spark of redemption.
God’s wheels in motion.
Chaotic creation.

I crush the serpent
under my heel.
For God so loved the world
that he gave us free will.

Pity not poor Eve.
Condemn me not.
I brought you forth in pain
to dare to seek
the God I sought.

I am...no helpmeet
I am...not ashamed
I am...mother of sin
I am...mother of mo(u)rning.

about

Reliquario Tulsa, Oklahoma

Reliquario was formed in January 2019 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Former local bands include Burden of Blood (Bryan, Trent, and Jacob) and Siren (Stacy).

A reliquary encases sacred remains--blood, bones, skin, organs...mementos of martyrdom, sainthood, the fragility and mystery of earthly life. So does heavy metal, which is what we play. Our name is Italian, the language of some of our songs. ... more
