The Gods of Eden came to town
\nThey only came to look around
\nWhen all was done, they somehow found
\nThe time to take us in<\/p>\n
The Gods of Eden swept aside
\nThe protests of the child bride
\n“Oh come,” they said “and lose your pride,
\nThere’s no denying sin.”<\/p>\n
I held you once upon this shore
\nI said there’s room for so much more
\nYou laughed and showed me to the door
\nOh where’s your laughter now?<\/p>\n
The Gods of Eden blew this town
\nFor something evil’s going down
\nWell, who am I to wear their crown
\nAnd would you show me how?<\/p>\n
I know you’ve named them in your sleep
\nYou’re in too far, you’re in too deep
\nOf all the secrets you would keep
\nWas I the last to know?<\/p>\n
The Gods of Eden never leave
\nThey never cry, they never grieve
\nBut they have told me, by your leave
\nThat it was time to go<\/p>\n
Oh yes, they’ve told me, by your leave
\nThat it is time to go<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
