Actually, Blayed, this song heavily references the Biblical narrative. Notice the Earth says that it provides, "not your spirit, but your shape," referencing Genesis 2 where God fashions man out of Earth and breathes life into the earthen creation. "All Eden's worth arrayed before your eyes, I fathomed not; you wanted to escape," is a direct reference to man's rebellion against God and subsequent expulsion from the garden of Eden (Genesis 3). "Every seed must die before it grows," is a direct reference to 1 Corinthians 15: 36-38: "How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body." Finally, the closing line, "here I will teach you truly how to sleep," references the many times Paul talks about the dead as having fallen asleep, awaiting the resurrection.
