Timshel is the idea that one has a choice for the path of good or evil. In the song, “Timshel”, Mumford and Son’s creates allusions between their song and the novel, East of Eden.

The spectators watched as the Goddess and the newcomer engaged. Listened to the metallic ring of weapons clashing, the sounds of destruction and felt the bloodlust that emanated from the two rapidly grow stronger.
