I wasn't lookin' for somethin' differentI was sailing slowly losing all controlI was goin' down in the dirty waterDeep into the middle of my soulThere like a streak of lightning, illuminating everything in sightI surrendered to this senseless fightingI surrendered to this senseless lightOver top of yonder mountain, over there where the rainbow endsI took a drink from the holy fountainDown around where the river bendsThe further I followed this fallen pathThe more I trusted in this fearThen revealed in the aftermathI didn't know who I was, what, or whereJust west of Eden, from Chicago to GethsemaneJust west of Eden, the flowers smelled like tragedyJust west of EdenCommunion came like rollin' waterLike a feast to a hungry beastI knelt beside a ploughman's daughterWhose thirst never seemed to ceaseThe gateway to the wicked led the lost under their wingSilence fell upon this hopeless town and the bells of innocence began to ringLetras de cancionesJust west of Eden, where Cain paved a pavement of sinJust west of Eden, the trumpet wailed and the walls caved in...Just west of EdenGraced by the hours and the mindless trapsIn which even the noblest fallLove's longing flower brought humility unto us allI stood engulfed by temptations smileSearching for the only keyReverent eyes fell upon my browWhile she moved in the air like poetryClutching on to this sword, I hold the names of all the menI rip myself from this chordFalling free to find myself againI seize the darkness with a sharpened tongueThen spit it out at lastI watch the lighthouse from the waterBeware of the coming of the pastJust west of Eden, crucifixions while the cities burnJust west of Eden, the priest wailed and the poet yearnedJust west of Eden, insolence, prejudice, and cowardice are learned...Just west of Eden From Letras Mania
