F#mNow 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.

HF#meavens 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]
Here in the gF#marden - fountain of life
Here in the garden arcane delights are born from the wC#momb.
F#mDown here the seed will rise
From dark earth to the light, to kiss the sun agC#main.
F#mShe brings me flowers to ease the pain
She brings me light where only darkness rC#meigns.

And the wF#may you love the wild earthen dream

I don't cF#mare what lies beyond this world
All I really care about is yC#mou.
For MF#mother Nature's gifts of life have made,
Have made this world a paradC#mise for you and I.
