Lyrics:
We lay in a bed of hemlock,
You kissed me between the ferns.
Your mind was of the most beautiful matter,
You taught me all that I had learned.
Foxglove and forget me nots,
Willowherb and wintercress.
Your eyes were azaleas,
A sweet but poisonous caress
The carnal knowledge,
The sacred fruit.
You blossomed like a flower,
The sweetest nectar, but a bitter root.
The earth was torn up.
The tree cut down.
Emotive and broken,
A garland of nightshade as your crown.
One bite of the apple
And our world caved in.
Of course i forgive you,
It is our nature to sin.
