Lyric

Ah—

Ah—

Ah—

I was born in chains of holy white

Kneeling down before the morning light

Not my breath, not my name, not my own

Every prayer was a borrowed stone

Obey, obey, the marble angels sing

Bow your head and never question Him

Hallelujah, I was Eve the pure

Walking through the garden, pale and sure

Still the apple burns like gold

Why does heaven taste so cold?

Listen. Listen

Listen. Listen

A voice slipped through my ribs like smoke

Salt was burning on my tongue

My skin remembered, my blood awoke

The name I lost when I was young

Light-bearer, stay

Say my name

Was I a sin?

Or just asleep?

Light-bearer, light-bearer, tell me why

Freedom feels so much like life

He whispered, come and taste the salt

My breath, my blood, my name

For the first time

I forgot the shame

Blue sky! Blue sea! The sun is on my skin!

No shame left inside of me!

Bite the apple, let the sweetness run

I am Eve, unbound, uncrowned!

Blue sky! Blue sea! The chains fall off of me!

I threw the key away into the deep!

My breath, my blood, my mouth, my name

I was never falling, I was learning how to fly

Blue sky... blue sea

My breath... my name

The fruit was

Mine

Mine
