Lyrics

Apples and silver bear the trees of paradise / visions of heaven to unfold before our eyes / where cherry orchards bloom eternal summer's night / upon a sarcen stone we dreamed / our sweet old lies

And into the dreams bewitched / we'd hear the haunting song / that beckoned us to taste / of the dark of unripe dawn

If pride doth go before the fall / the summer never was / promises gilded and hollow / no longer do bind us / all knowing and all wise

We'll exit eden / by the sunrise

As pestilence falls down as rain upon our heads / still paved with gold become the roads that we now tread / covered with sores and drunk with plain mortality / we have no thing so dear we couldn't / part with and leave

And if plague and hail they say / may purge a righteous man / tears wept in anger / shall be wiped away / by the devil's hand

If pride doth go before the fall / the summer never was / promises gilded and hollow / no longer do bind us / all knowing and all wise

We'll exit eden / by the sunrise

(All sacred secrets and serpents / grow old and tangled in shadows coiled / under bridges over alpheus stream / carrying their dust on to the sea)
