Genesis Lyrics

Genesis lyrics

Breathing an air
Permeated, soaked in darkness
Emanating from
within
Resonating like a scream no one can hear

I wear this chaos
well
Though none should save me
Desperation keeps me here
My need for
innocence
The place where I began
The abyss becomes me
I wear this
chaos well

Are these not words of heresy?
A venom on my lips, a
poison?
My spirit impurified
In everything I choose to say

With
you I stand in hope
That God will save us from ourselves
Every cry a
wasted moment
Until another day is lost
Even lands we once called
home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven's silence for an
answer
And did our laughter, did our tears
Have some purpose after
all?
Did we toil in vain in hope
That wisdom came from what we'd
done?
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only
heaven's silence for an answer

Are these not words of heresy?
A venom
on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified
In everything I choose to
say

If I would shed my skin, the layers left
But not the lessons
learned
It would not undo what I have done
Or grant forgiveness in some
better days

With you I stand in hope
That God will save us from
ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
Until another day is lost
Even
lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven's
silence for an answer
And did our laughter, did our tears
Have some
purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain in hope
That wisdom came from what
we'd done?
Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and
unknown
Only heaven's silence for an answer
