Genesis Songtext
von VNV Nation

"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
God saw the light, that it was good
And God said, ′Let there be light'"

"God created the Heaven and the Earth
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
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


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

"God created the Heaven and the Earth
God saw the light, that it was good
And God said, ′Let there be light'

′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

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
