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 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 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 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 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 Blood of Eden comes running through me Running through my veins Blood of Eden comes rushing through me 'Til I'm sure that there's none that remains Blood of Eden comes running through me Running through my veins Blood of Eden comes rushing through me 'Til I'm sure that there's none that remains In the blood of Eden We have done everything we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we bagan 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 Oh, thank you I was gonna guess that but- And it's gonna be waiting in the album a little longer Because this one is actually called Red Rain
