(feat. 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

They're heated and they're 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 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 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 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


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
Heyyyy


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
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've done everything we can
In the blood of Eden
Saw the 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.
