East Of Eden Songtext

von Mindy Jostyn

I'm the first born son of a good family
Why wouldn't God would smile upon me?
I come from a land of paradise
Now I'm living in a world of fire and ice
East of Eden
East of Eden
Now I'm living in a world of fire and ice
East of Eden

I was my daddy's pride and joy
Till along came another boy
Baby brother, innocent lamb
Baby brother is the reason I'm damned

East of Eden
East of Eden
My brother is the reason they sent me here
East of Eden

I was the first, why couldn't he see?
He stole my father's love from me
I couldn't let my brother steal from me

So I went downtown, bought me a gun
Shot that thief in the noonday sun
They sent me away to a lonely place
To live the rest of my days in disgrace
East of Eden
East of Eden
I will spend the rest of my days in disgrace
East of Eden

They called it murder in the first degree
There's no room at home for a killer like me
I was wrong to spill my own brother's blood
But all I ever wanted was my father's love
My daddy's love

I'm the first born son of a good family
A righteous life was waiting for me
Born in a land of paradise
Condemned to a world of fire and ice
East of Eden
East of Eden
Damned to a world of fire and ice
East of Eden
