Story Behind The Song
The song is based around the idea of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Dark reaches them even while they are in the safety of a perfect paradise (the garden.) It's about the seduction of evil and the pretty tone of the songs is meant to represent the nature of the seduction... evil doesn't comes wearing horns and claws, but draped in beauty, dangling golden carrots...enchanting and mesmerizing.
Song Description
An abstract, ambient song about the seduction of Darkness. Pretty, enchanting and tranquil. No drums are used. Drifting over the music are soft, airy, ethereal female vocals singing about a Garden and trying to ward off evil. All the sounds are created with guitar, bass, and effects pedals.

Lyrics
In the Garden we have hands; we have hearts.
[Away] from the Shelter, all our bodies fall apart.
And Dark crawls.
Dark... stay away, stay away!
And Dark crawls all the way to the Garden.
