East Of Eden Lyrics - Dead Can Dance - Dead Can Dance

i was told this in a distant land 

where tortured souls have to fight together in anguish 

and the scenes of the show are of a cruel and violent nature 

scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen 

the arena the town the place was set for all to watch and see 

i was told this in a distant land 

where the oppressor ruled with an iron hand 

and the mission of saddened complacency 

left cold and emotionless by history 

scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen 

all the while i should have known it was you killing me

somewhere east of eden the designs will never change 

vented through other's fear the world stops at the end of the hall 

we watch the life force fade away 

and that's the price we shall have to pay 

(once you are dead how could the children have known)
