Blood Of Eden Lyrics

Blood Of Eden lyrics

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

 They're heated and they're 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 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

 

 [Chorus]

 

 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

 Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

 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

 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've done everything we can

 In the blood of Eden

 Saw the 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.

 The blood of eden keeps running through me

 running through my veins

 the blood of eden keeps rushing through me

 when I'm sure there's none that remains

 the blood of eden keeps running through me 

 I can feel it in my bones

 that blood of eden keeps rushing through me

 taking back what it owns
