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 beside 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
