Genesis — текст песни (VNV Nation)

Breathing an air, permeated,
soaked in darkness,
eminating 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.
