He takes a bite of the apple

And a vision appears

He follows the light until the image is clear



He sees her porcelain beauty

Against another man's skin

He hears her moaning

A way she hadn't for him

With grotesque fascination

He watches until they fall still

He burns with the knowledge of good and evil



(Chorus)

He feels like he's falling, falling

Out of grace and into knowledge



He watches with dry eyes

Eyes that have changed

One final memory of the vision remains

Her playful body enjoying the sweet taste of sin

The dance of love that's now foreign to him



Day turns to night and night turns to day

He puts the illusions of his childhood away

With the new understanding he builds a world of his own

Outside the garden he finds the will to go on
