We Ate the Fruit of the Tree Lyrics

Formless and empty, waste and void

Darkness on the surface of the deep

You flew over the face of the water

Pondering the words you might speak

You trumpeted the light and whispered the firmament

Intoned the peaks and hummed out the plains

And you chuckled a bit as you spit out the fish

And quietly whistled as you folded the cranes

We ate the fruit of the tree

There's no undoing it now

There are thorns in the grass

And snakes on the path but

We'll have to make it somehow

We'll have to make it somehow

You put the sapling at the center of the garden and

Willed it to fruit with the changing of seasons and

You made the serpent and left the gate open and

You saw it coming but maybe you had your reasons

You saw that it was good, but was it too plain?

Maybe you were bored and had a penchant for games or

You meant to prevent it but the seventh day came and found you

Deep in slumber in a thundercloud bank

We ate the fruit of the tree

There's no undoing it now

There are thorns in the grass

And snakes on the path but

We'll have to make it somehow

We ate the fruit of the tree

There's no undoing it now

There are thorns in the grass

And snakes on the path but

We'll have to make it somehow

We'll have to make it somehow
