VNV Nation - 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 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." 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
