East East Eden
East of Eden
South of Heaven

In the thousand eyes, of this immortal
I was lost within a maze
But overall the discordance
Of their velvet skin
They pulpiteer towards us
Their voice was like a siren
But held no weight in the holy verses
I took them as my preacher
Became their initial apostle
Gave them asylum in my silo
Listened every night to their gospel
One night when I was cleaning their wings
Like a fragile black lace
Their lips looks so red
I held their chin in my hand that night

I felt the love of my God
Became the love of my God
They preached their way to my soul
They turned my faith into love

With a thousand yellow eyes
In the morning they look like the living dead
So pale, hair jet black
Their breath's like a succubus, not a God

The numbers kept increasing for the beautiful saviour
We now all washed her wings
But I was still her one and only
Newscasts, headlines about "the angel who'll save us"
The priests handed us their churches
We took over their sermons
We planned to marry soon
We could have thousands at the wedding
She said we couldn't use the church
Only the ground could truly bond us
In our three years on this course
I'd never seen a single aisle

With a thousand yellow eyes
In the morning they look like the living dead
So pale, hair jet black
Their breath's like a succubus, not a God
But I never saw another beast
Whose glare had me so entranced
From the shape of their jaw
To the lace of their wings
It's like Eden's a person on Earth

I'd never had a second thought, but then I inquired
When I stepped into the church I knew instantly why
The aisles were of people but not praying or singing
God's home was a factory, a sweatshop of black smoke
God's home was a factory, a sweatshop of black smoke
East of Eden
South of fucking Heaven

East of Eden
East of Eden
Feast on Eden
South of Heaven

With a thousand yellow eyes
In the morning they look like the living dead
So pale, hair jet black
Their breath's like a succubus, not a God
But I never saw another beast
Whose glare had me so entranced
From the shape of their jaw
To the lace of their wings
It's like Eden's a person on Earth

With a thousand yellow eyes
In the morning they look like the living dead
So pale, hair jet black
Their breath's like a succubus, not a God
But I never saw another beast
Whose glare had me so entranced
From the shape of their jaw
To the lace of their wings
It's like Eden's a person on Earth
