Genesis lyrics

Artist  : Vnv Nation 
Song : Genesis



 Send "Genesis" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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
