Peter Gabriel & Sinead O'Connor - Blood Of Eden

Peter Gabriel & Sinead O'Connor - 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 Ive lost my hold
Yes, I think Ive 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 Im 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

A song about sex and love and blood and death and redemption and transformation. A song about what it means to be a human, and to be apart-from.

If this song doesn't touch some place deep inside you, you're not alive.

If you think comparing them to Justin Bieber and Ke$sha is cool, that's not good. Peter Gabriel and Sinead O' Connor are 100x cooler than them.

@pewploid That was a genius statement.

This song was pretty bad. Really. And I LOVE Sinead and Gabriel.

[Dannyton1971]

Wonderful song. It sounds complex, but when you read the lyrics its sooo simple to understand. I remember hearing this on a very dark day in my life nearly 20years ago!

Seven people have sold their souls for insurance.
