Dead Can Dance

East of Eden

I was told this in a distant land

Where tortured souls have to fight together in anguish

And the scenes of the show

Are of a cruel and violent nature

Scenes of pain and cruelty

Are there to be seen

The arena, the town, the place was set

For all to watch and see

I was told this in a distant land

Where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand

And the mission of saddened complacency

Left cold and emotionless by history

Scenes of pain and cruelty

Are there to be seen

All the while I should have known

It was you killing me

Somewhere east of Eden

The designs will never change

Vented through others' fear

The world stops at the end of the hall

We watch the life force fade away

And that's the price we shall have to pay

Once you are dead

How could the children have known
