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
