i recently read paradise lost for english class, and i heard about this album. but yeah, the song is talking about the time when eve had eaten the forbidden fruit and adam had not yet. in the poem, eve offers the fruit to adam because she doesn't want to lose him, realizing that she will die and adam will not. the song is in the perspective of adam, and it is him talking about how he would trade eternal life (being pure) for being with eve. it shows his devotion to eve rather than God, and how eve is in turn tempting adam to disobey God.
