Peter Gabriel - Blood of eden lyrics

Your rating:

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 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 any more
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 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
Oh, for a moment of forgetting, a moment of bliss

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
I feel 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 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 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
