Lyrics

[Verse 1] You knelt on the carpet, crimson and stained Light trickled over your black dress like rain And your lips were hot, and my shocked heart screamed And I can't scrape my eyes free of this dream [Verse 2] We each occupied the same space/time Matter, antimatter, tangled like vines And the awful tolling, and the cold rain outside And I cannot scrape this dream off my eyes [Chorus] And the embers of Eden burn You can even see it from space And the great and winding wall between us Seems to copy the lines of your face [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And the embers of Eden burn You can even see it from space And the great and winding wall between us Seems to copy the lines of your face
