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 undoi-ing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untyi-ing
They're heated and they're holy
Oh, they're sitting there on high
So secure with everything they're buying
Chorus 1:
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
Ohhh, 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 2:
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
Ohhh, 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 mooo-ooment
What a moment this is
Oh, for a moment of forgetting
A moment of bliss
Heeeeeeeeeeeeee-eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfo-ort
For the filling of their holes
Chorus 3:
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
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 had 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
Ohhh, the union of the woman
The woman and the man
