PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "Blood Of Eden"

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

[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


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]


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
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


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
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.


[extra lyrics from the "film mix"]

The blood of eden keeps running through me
running through my veins
the blood of eden keeps rushing through me

when I'm sure there's none that remains
the blood of eden keeps running through me
I can feel it in my bones
that blood of eden keeps rushing through me
taking back what it owns
