Story Behind The Song
I'm a big science fiction fan and a huge fan of history. The story of the Garden of Eden is a rich story that reflects early man's thoughts and fears about his relationship to god, women and the world around him. The song culminates with the time traveler realizing Eve had to eat the apple in order for man to once again achieve greatness through earned (not given) enlightement.

Lyrics
Fall Of Man
Verse I
I traveled time
To where the Tigris and Euphrates bind
Past the armed cherubim
And the beautiful Seraphim
At the tree of knowledge
Stands a girl
Chorus
It's the fall of man
It's the fall from grace
If I stop Eve now
Could I save our fate
Fall of a man
It's the fall of man
Verse II
Eve, I know it's hard for you to understand
The role you play in the fall of man
I beg you please just put down the prize and walk away from the serpent's lies
Chorus
Verse III
Eve, she smiled at me and then she said "I want to know love, i want to feel the pain, I want to see my naked soul dance in the rain"
I watched as eve, she took the bite
Bridge
And I saw her tears flow
As it echoes our life
And the world that we know
From a selfless sacrifice
Chorus
