Blood of Eden

 

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 chord's 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
We 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 any more
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 Oh.... 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 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
