Eden Prison (This Way) Lyrics by Michael Gira

I Am Not Insane

2010

[Verse 1]
Within the walls of Eden Prison
There is a mark upon a stone
And in this place a life was written
And there a stain was laid, where I was born
Now moving through the roots of trees
Deep may their fingers reach
The substance of a mind that feeds
The bodies of the living stones that lead
[Refrain]
Up to become the walls of Eden Prison
[Verse 2]
The supine wild beast upon the slab
Would gladly rip the throat from God
If only he could reach up to his white ass
And I am free and will never breathe again
Within the greasy ochre walls of Eden Prison
I am free, I will begin again
I am free, I will begin again
[Refrain]
I am free of the choking hold
That began in Eden Prison
[Verse 3]
We are free, we are free
We are free, we are free
But the ships, they sail a sea
Of glistening turning crimson
[Refrain]
They are carrying a cargo to unload
At Eden Prison
