Before I Turn - Genesis

Genesis


I watch the world, it crumbles at the feet of illusion
It withers slowly in the hands of a con
Voices can be heard of the cities in peril

Wake the fuck up or all you know will be gone

They march in silence and shame,
violence under his name
Hiding in the comfort of darkness,
masquerade solace with eminent pain

Plaguing my love, burning my life, stealing my children, claiming my wife
Plaguing my love, burning my life, stealing my children, claiming my wife
Plaguing my love, burning my life, stealing my children, claiming my wife
Plaguing my love, burning my life, stealing my children, claiming my wife

Not the brightest diamond can fulfill my anguish
And no family will bid me farewell
If this is living I don't want to be reborn
I'd rather end my life and see you all in hell

Embrace the man who takes my family; embrace the man who takes my faith
Embrace the evil that lingers in front of me; embrace the darkness that beckons all my hate

I watch the world, it crumbles at my feet
It withers slowly in the hands of a con
Voices can be heard of the cities in peril
Wake the fuck up or all you know will be gone
