There Was Eden (November 11, 2011)

This is the world we asked for
The bounty we recieve
Naked beneath our costumes as we play make-believe
And it's nothing but the truth
But it's wasted on our youth
Your smile broke the heavens
I never will forget
I'd follow you to hell but they haven't called you yet
And I'm still waiting for my turn
And when it comes I'll gladly burn
And when the Earth begins to shake
And when the skies begin to break
Will you still call it a mistake or will you finally take my hand?
Will you finally understand?

The only days that matter
The first one and the last
The man you knew is gone now
I left him in the past
He was a very angry man but I forgive him when I can
Past love and past bewilderment
I don't know what to do
A creature in the wilderness
I'm nothing without you
You gave me something else to be
But it's a side you'll never see
And when the Earth begins to shake
And when the skies begin to break
Will you still call it a mistake or will you finally take my hand?
Will you finally understand?

The Angel of America is dying in a field under the frozen moonlight
The face of God revealed
But she's forgotten how to pray
And God has nothing else to say
There are no happy endings without the human touch
But there's no disappointment and I don't miss it much
And I guess I'll never know if there's a better way to go
And when the Earth begins to shake
And when the skies begin to break
And when your heart begins to quake
If you're the one I must forsake
Will you still call it a mistake when I slap away your hand?
Will you finally understand?
Do you finally understand?
