I caught sight of my reflection, I caught it in a 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 untied Oh, they're heated in their holiness, sitting there on high So secure with everything nearby In a block beaten by 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 and the man My grip is surely slipping, I think I've lost my hold Yeah, 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 a block beaten by 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 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 For a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss I can hear the distant thunder of a million unhurt souls Of a million unhurt 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 We've done everything that we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we began In the blood of Eden We've done everything that we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we began In the blood of Eden
