Heathens

She bargains with the world

So everything she wants will come to her

With no greed inside her mind

She knows what she deserves

We fell from sky with grace

And landed in her soft and warm embrace

She gave her love, her gift of life

So we could live with her

That is why we live like heathens

Stealing from the trees of Eden

Living in the arms of freedom

And everything we touch is evil

That is why we live like heathens

The stone, the dirt, the dust

The unforgiving promise made to us

Unworthy of your light, your god, your touch

We're guided by the lust

We cry the fallen names

We cry for those who burned beneath the flame

We stand besides the good and brave

The broken and enslaved

That is why we live like heathens

Stealing from the trees of Eden

Living in the arms of freedom

And everything we touch is evil

That is why we live like heathens

Everything you touch

Will be

Hers

Our mother with no heart

Will give

Love

Her love is yours

But only if you give your heart to her

That is why we live like heathens

Stealing from the trees of Eden

Living in the arms of freedom

And everything we touch is evil

That is why we live like heathens

That is why we live like heathens

That is why we live like heathens
