Blood Of Eden
Peter Gabriel
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 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 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 man90s album rock Alternative PopRock alternative rock angelic voice down my spine atmospheric ballad song ballads carpet crawlers college rock duets easy listening Gottolistenthisagain Lyrical Muse male feelings male vocalist massive walls of emotions melancholy Mellow moonlit knights Peter Gabriel petergabriel Pop/Rock poprock Prog-RockArt Rock progressive jazz rock Progressive rock quality quality pop rating 5 religious symbolism rock ruhig sad songs September silent inanity singer-songwriter soundscapes of the dormant con soundscapes of the imaginative soundscapes of the lazy consci treeks favourites
