Work Text:
You take a deep breath as you break through the ground
Not that long now since the very first day
"Make some trouble," they said, so that's what you will do
Look for something to make somebody stray
Then you see a tree, apples no one can eat
And you're certain how you'll begin
Tempting one of those human folks to sample what is there
They're kicked out suddenly for the sin you caused
'Cause back in Eden when they tell you plans of the Ending
You're gonna believe them
And back in Eden
The whole world there for you to figure out
Well, count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Eden
You climb the wall up to the angel Azriaphale
And greet him like you're old friends
Making jokes to see him laugh and loosen his cool
You have both been told to tempt and help man
And then you see it starting to rain and he shelters you
And you wait to start fighting
But you're thinking of the End pitting Heaven against Hell
And you know that you will win when the world ends
When the world ends
'Cause back in Eden when they tell you plans of the Ending
You're gonna believe them
And back in Eden
Wondering what life's like on the ground
But in your life you'll do things greater than what is expected of a demon
But I didn't know it in Eden
With nothing planned or a thing to stand for
Wish I could go back and tell myself what I know now
Back then I thought I would have to battle him some day
But I realized I wouldn't play the part
Aziraphale gave all the faith he had up until
They broke his heart
We're both scarred
'Cause back in Eden when they tell you plans of the Ending
You're gonna believe them
And back in Eden
Don't you be defined by your own Fall
I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might choose who you are gonna be
I thought I'd be who I was supposed to be
In Eden
The very first day
Take a deep breath there
Take a deep breath as you break through the ground
