lyrics

the verdant green
and all the leaves surrounding Eden
faultless the arboria between

the sky and earth.
and now our Eden burned
as cherubim slashed the vines to test our worth.

well did you know
that when the apple fell before you that
to grasp it meant to let our Eden go?

and all the sin
you laid upon my head came more
reflected in its red and polished skin?

the verdant green
and Eden burned
the verdant green
my Eden burned

i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies

i walk unseen,
knee-deep in the ash of our
communion, and the trust we held between

the apple core
smeared with sticky guilt, and the
sweet aftertaste of your pretense to whore

well did you know
that when you took the fruit before you
that the skies would crash and stormwinds blow;

and all the blame
you laid upon my head, and while
my Eden burned you laughed, and fanned the flame

the verdant green
my Eden burned
the verdant green
my Eden burned

i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies

and to what end did you aspire?
our precious garden set afire?
inferno came and swiftly died
but are you ever satisfied?

i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
i meant to bring you into paradise but then i found your promises of love were only lies
