Eve
Instinct - The living
"Eve" by Kristilyn - Zombie Romance
According to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, she was the first woman; In Islamic tradition, Eve is known as Adam's wife and the first woman although she is not specifically named in the Quran but in the Hadith. According to the texts, she ate the forbidden fruit in the Eden.
EVE*:
The name Eve means "living". This name is expressive of the prophetic life bound up in her, for through the seed of the woman, sin would one day be vanquished, and death would be swallowed up in victory. From the myth of Genesis, the first human female created from the first male's(Adam) rib.

From Michael's Blog about Eve:
I thought it might be interesting to consider that the story of the creation of "man" began with Eve, not Adam. Eve, created in God's image, was the most beautiful creature possible. Perhaps she was placed on Earth by God to rule with him, but to remain his and only his. When her beauty earned the favor of the creatures of Earth and the angels of heaven, God was jealous. When Eve wished to separate herself from God, she, from her own body, created a companion for herself. This angered God and Eve was tricked and punished. Eve's denial of advances resulted in great human suffering, with a particular focus on ensuring that women would forever be subjugated by men.

Lyrics:
EVE
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me”
God made the sky, air, earth and heavens
Breathed life into you Eve, demanded your reverence
a tour of the grounds, offered dominion
a dowry enough for relations hymenean
All the creatures of Earth witnessed your dynastic birth
To rule, to subdue, a suitable helper for you
You tore a rib from your flesh, gave life from your chest
Flowers, garlands, and herbs to beast, bird, insect, and worm
You knew we had nothing to hide, You knew we had nothing to hide
Now Eve the creator, free-thought vindicator attracted the angels’ celestial favor
Bone from her bone and flesh from her flesh this binary fission, bypassing a creche
A jealous lord says kneel, crawl and these women must take the fall
so the Serpent was sent to stop God’s little malcontents
to strip them of favor, demand subservience
Extracting the life from your ribs, the father is envious of his kids
But you knew we had nothing to hide, You knew we had nothing to hide
Obey, obey, obey
Millennia have passed and not much changed; Far be it that I should write thee sin or blame
Or think the unbefitting holiest place; Whose bed is undefiled and purely chaste
Of virtue, and place, and innocence; defaming, impure God takes offense
Whatever hypocrites austerely talk
Dear Bacchus punishes priss, you punish those who’re not
Pandora, Cassandra, this is it, so listen bitch!
No woman, no woman, no woman, cuts off God’s dick!
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you.”
