I caught sight of my reflection
|
I caught it in the window
|
I saw the darkness in my heart
|
I saw the signs of my undoing
|
They had been there from the start
|
And the darkness still has work to do
|
The knotted cords untying
|
The heated and the holy
|
Oh, they’re sitting there on high
|
So secure with everything they’re buying
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
With the man in the woman
|
And the woman in the man
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
They wanted the the union
|
Oh, the union of the woman
|
The woman and the man
|
My grip is surely slipping
|
I think I’ve lost my hold
|
Yes, I think I’ve lost my hold
|
I cannot get insurance anymore
|
They don’t take credit, only gold
|
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
|
You hold so tightly in your hand?
|
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
|
I do not understand
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
With the man in the woman
|
And the woman in the man
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
We wanted the the union
|
Oh, the union of the woman
|
The woman and the man
|
At my request, you take me in
|
In that tenderness, I am floating away
|
No certainty, nothing to rely on
|
Holding still for a moment
|
What a moment this is
|
Oh, for a moment of forgetting
|
A moment of bliss
|
I can hear the distant thunder
|
Of a million unheard souls
|
Of a million unheard souls
|
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
|
For the filling of their holes
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
With the man in the woman
|
And the woman in the man
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
We wanted the union
|
Of the woman and the man
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
I feel the man in the woman
|
And the woman in the man
|
In the blood of Eden
|
Lie the woman and the man
|
I feel the man in the woman
|
And the woman in the man
|
In the blood of Eden
|
We have done everything we can
|
In the blood of Eden
|
So we end as we began
|
With the man in the woman
|
And the woman in the man
|
It was all for the union
|
Oh, the union of the woman
|
The woman and the man |
