Ages of Cages: Pilgrims of Eden

Pilgrims of Eden

We crawled on out knees, preying to a flashing sign

In a land where the devils take on forms so divine

Deforming the sacred and stealing all our time

We pilgrims of Eden, we were left lost behind

We met in the village of the lost and the cold

Where ivory towers clasp to a land they can't hold

Strange lands and strange oceans, they shined through our eyes

We pilgrims of Eden, how we reached for the skies

The river grew wide and its current grew fast

Lovers grew distant, till just a thing of the past

We sought out oracles to foresee our black fate

We pilgrims of Eden - rapping the bars of the gate

Atrocious deeds swept under still do thrive

And content's the question when intent is benign

And these tongueless poets are buried in the road

As we pilgrims of Eden leave our hearts to corrode

Through the blood trickle of darkness to a sea that shines like chrome

I'm with good company, but I still feel alone

But I still feel alone

But I still feel alone

Well I've tasted love, but then a I let it pass

I passed it on to the ones I knew could make it last

And I hear her voice sometimes, carried over the sound

Oh, we pilgrims of Eden, we'll never see all we've found
