F#m
Now I no longer trust these eyes of mine
The heart must speak to me
In tongues of forgotten voices
In ancient harmony
So that I can see.
[Bridge]
F#m
Heavens are merely illusions
When you build them high in the sky.
And Hell is the final solution
For those who have no faith in this life
They are blinded by lies.
[Bridge]
F#m
Here in the garden - fountain of life
C#m
Here in the garden arcane delights are born from the womb.
F#m
Down here the seed will rise
C#m
From dark earth to the light, to kiss the sun again.
F#m
She brings me flowers to ease the pain
C#m
She brings me light where only darkness reigns.

[Verse]
F#m
And the more I see
C#m
The more life means to me.
F#m
And the way you love the wild earthen dream
C#m
She sings her song for you and me.
F#m
I don't care what lies beyond this world
C#m
All I really care about is you.
F#m
For Mother Nature's gifts of life have made,
C#m
Have made this world a paradise for you and I.
