Genesis

Lyrics

"We are now approaching lunar sunrise
 And, uh, for all the people back on Earth
 The crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you
 God created the Heaven and the Earth
 And God said
 And God said, 'Let there be light'"
 God saw the light, that it was good
 God saw the light, that it was good
 And God said, 'Let there be light'"
 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 is impurified
 In everything I choose to say (And God said, "Let there be light")
 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
 ♪
 Undiscovered and unknown
 "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth
 And the earth was without form, and void
 And darkness was upon the face of the deep
 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
 And God said, 'Let there be light', and there was light
 And God saw the light, that it was good
 And God divided the light from the darkness
 God created the Heaven and the Earth
 And God saw the light, that it was good
 And God said, 'Let there be light'"
 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
