Blood of Eden

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus][x2]
