Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Garden gate swinging on a crooked hinge
Serpent slid sideways with a brand new spin
Told me take a bite and I took the risk
Now the whole world knows I been dismissed
Fig leaves stitching in the afternoon
Somebody told a truth that cut right through
Now I'm walking barefoot on the broken ground
Every step echoes with a hollow sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you hiding when the shadows call
Naked and nameless after the fall
Where are you hiding I can hear the thunder
Tore it all down just to wonder
[Chorus]
Cursed is the ground for my sake
Every thorn a promise that the branches make
Cursed is the ground for my sake
Eating bread in the dust till the morning breaks
[Drop]
Dust... dust... dust till the morning breaks
Dust... dust... dust till the morning breaks
[Verse 2]
Cherubim posted at the eastern gate
Sword turning every which way I hate
Brought a whole world down on a single seed
Now I'm out here planting while my insides bleed
Sweat on my forehead and a brand on my tongue
Sang my praise when the garden was young
But the ground don't sing back anymore
Just rocks and thistles and a closing door
[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you hiding when the shadows call
Naked and nameless after the fall
Where are you hiding I can hear the thunder
Tore it all down just to wonder
[Chorus]
Cursed is the ground for my sake
Every thorn a promise that the branches make
Cursed is the ground for my sake
Eating bread in the dust till the morning breaks
[Bridge]
And the woman said the serpent deceived me
And I ate
And I ate
And the serpent just laughed from the apple tree
Said you wanted to know what the gods know
Now you know
Now you know
[Drop]
Dust... dust... knowledge comes with a price
Dust... dust... can't go back to paradise
