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

G (320003@1)     DIn (xx0232@1)the blood of Eden
            A (x02220@1)                  
Lie the woman and the man
         G (320003@1)            DWith (xx0232@1)the man in the woman
             A (x02220@1)                 
And the woman in the man
                G (320003@1)      DIn (xx0232@1)the blood of Eden
           A (x02220@1)                  
Lie the woman and the man
               G (320003@1)      DWe (xx0232@1)wanted the union
A (x02220@1)                          
Oh the union of the woman
       A (x02220@1)                     
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
