Lyrics
In Eden's light we walk the days
Where living rivers wind through air
No shadow stains the meadow's blaze
No sorrow finds a dwelling there
The beasts lie gentle at our side
The birds descend without command
From crystal heights the watchers glide
As we tend God's unbroken land
A whisper coils from shadowed tree
"Are you not more than dust and breath
Why bow to blind authority
And live in innocence till death
The fruit forbidden holds the key
The truth your Maker will not show
Take what was meant for such as thee
And into godlike knowing grow
What harm could lie in one small taste
What danger hides in knowledge won
The serpent's reason seems well placed
His subtle argument well spun
Our fingers reach despite the fear
The trembling moment will not cease
One breath, one doubt, one bite-and here
Innocence fractures into peace
The bite that echoed through all time
The garden shuddered at the sound
One breath of pride, one ancient crime
And heaven's light grew dim around
The angels wept with swords aflame
As Paradise was sealed and bound
We stand beyond the garden gates
Where roses bloomed, the thorns remain
The earth before us waits
Wide, wounded, and unknown
Our nakedness now clothed in dust
Our memory sharp as flame
Yet something moves within the sorrow
A quiet promise, faint but living
The joy we shattered
May not be gone forever
Behind us Eden fades like distant music
Before us
The long road of the world begins
And somewhere beyond the rising sun
The garden waits
