[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 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 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]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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]
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
The blood of eden keeps running through me
Running through my veins
The blood of eden keeps rushing through me
Until I'm sure there's none that remains
The blood of eden keeps running through me
Running through my veins
The blood of eden keeps rushing through me
Until I'm sure 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 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
