Took my love to the
rock of ages,
We looked down on the
country wide,
Red glow in the tree
tops,
Cities burning from the
changes
We lay down, put the
coins in our eyes.
And it looked like
Nightfall Over Eden,
The hungry sky, the
shifting sand,
Have stole the
footprints,
Stilled the voice of
reason,
Nightfall Over Eden,
take my hand.
And the children all
come running,
Got the sun in a box,
got the moon on a
string,
But you poison the
heartland,
Like you poison the
dream,
In the days before the
flood
We are children of the
rain.
And it looked like
Nightfall Over Eden,
The hungry sky, the
shifting sand,
Have stole the
footprints,
Stilled the voice of
reason,
Nightfall Over Eden,
take my hand.
And the leaves fall
from the tree,
Falling gold till they
cover me,
Cain built a city on the
open plain
Now his heart is broke
And he wants to be
home again.
Follow me down to the
rock of ages,
Bring your car, your
money and your
clothes,
We'll stand naked as
the day we were born,
Then we fly like
avenging angels
Down into the valley
below.
And it looked like
Nightfall Over Eden,
The hungry sky, the
shifting sand,
Have stole the
footprints,
Stilled the voice of
reason,
Nightfall Over Eden,
take my hand.
