Paroles de Genesis

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

Undiscovered

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
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
