From Genesis to Revelation lyrics

Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage,
The fox lay asleep in his lair.
Fang's frantic paws told the tale of his sin,
Far off the chase shrieked revenge.
Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread,
The last sacred haunt of the dead.
He learnt of a truth which only one wolk may know,
The sceptre and crown of a king.
Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack,

I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep
I got sunshine in my stomach
But I can't keep me from creeping sleep
Sleep, deep in the deep

Rockface moves to press my skin
White liquids turn sour within
Turn fast - turn sour
Turn sweat - turn sour
Must tell myself that I'm not here
I'm drowning in a liquid fear
Bottled in a strong compression
My distortion shows obsession

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning

Am I very wrong
To hide behind the glare from an open minded stare
Am I very wrong
To wander in the fear of a never ending lie

Am I very wrong
To try to close my ears to the sound they play so loud
Am I very wrong
The happiness machine is trying hard to sing my song

Today's your birthday friend, everything all right
Let us our greetings to you send
Happy friend, everything all right

All that time I was searching with nowhere to run to

It started me thinking
wondering what I could make of my life

And who'd be waiting.
Asking all kinds of questions to myself

but never finding the answers.
Crying at the top of my voice
and no one listening.
All this time I still remember everything you said

There's so much you promised
how could I ever forget?

He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at anything he hates
He calls to you, Hey look out son
There's a gun they're pointing at your pretty face

And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way

Five hundred little women
Are calling at their hero's door
Yes, their hero is working overtime

Pick me up, put me down
Push me in, turn me round
Switch me on, let me go
- I have a mind of my own

In hiding
Far from the city of night
And the factories of truth
I stand upon the mountain
A million miles from my home
And the faces of fear
I have freedom to think

In hiding
I may take off my clothes
That I wear on my face
I float upon a river
A million miles from the plains

Don't get me wrong
I think I'm in love
But the feeling in the word is more
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me
Don't get me wrong
Open your eyes
Although I cannot show my heart
I'll watch and hope while you are near to me

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away

Go far enough and you will reach
A place where the sea runs underneath
We'll see our shadow, high in the sky
Dying away in the night

I've sailed the world for seven years
And left all I love behind in tears
Won't you come here, wherever you are
I've been alone long enough

You, you have your own special way
Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water
Don't ever let go - Oh no, no, no

Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you
That is the sound of a new born world
And a light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny

Thrashing with violence
Hurling its lava up and down
Furnace of frenzy
Burning with power uncontrolled
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky

Rivers flow uphill
Blue turns into grey
Winter follows springtime
Morning ends the day
Beyond the silver rainbow

If you're walking home beside her
And you know what time it is
And if you avoid the puddles in your way
You haven't been there either
To the land that lies
Beyond the silver rainbow

But if you're walking home beside her
And the sun should turn to blue

Bored of the life in the city of gold
He'd left and let nobody know
Gone were the towers he had known from a child
Alone with the dream of a life
He travelled the wide open road
The blinkered arcade
In search of another to share in his life
Nowhere
Everyone looked so strange to him

They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence

Rivers flow uphill
Blue turns into grey
Winter follows springtime
Morning ends the day
Beyond the silver rainbow

If you're walking home beside her
And you know what time it is
And if you avoid the puddles in your way
You haven't been there either
To the land that lies
Beyond the silver rainbow

But if you're walking home beside her
And the sun should turn to blue

Genesis
That's All
Just as I thought it was going all right
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
Always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but I won't go
Though my heart might tell me so

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me
The peace for all my thoughts

The night brings shadows to the street
It's the time for dreams of things to come
To creep inside their lives

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling

Mister you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs in the moonlight
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Mister you've got one more chance
If you catch the hound when the sun shines
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

And it's all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Pick me up, put me down
Push me in, turn me round
Switch me on, let me go
I have a mind of my own

In hiding
Far from the city of night
And the factories of truth
I stand upon the mountain
A million miles from my home
And the faces of fear
I have freedom to think

In hiding
I may take off my clothes
That I wear on my face
I float upon a river
A million miles from the plains

Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you
That is the sound of a new born world
And a light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny

Thrashing with violence
Hurling its lava up and down
Furnace of frenzy
Burning with power uncontrolled
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky

Leaving all the world to play
They disappear
And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer
Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn
Mist surrounds the seagulls, christened by the storm

Music, all I hear is music
Guaranteed to please
And I look for something else
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops
Flowing in the drains
As the people run their lives
As their lives are run by time

Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free move around on my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be

Nothing to do, nothing to say
Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray

I can see, I can feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try

Cool as ice yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby

Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful
Look at her, and she's a model

Hey girl I love you but you won't listen
To what I'm trying to say

People moving about the town upside down, you know why
Little bits of coloured glass in the sky
Children pushing Mummy down to the park, in a pram
Look out the pavement's changing to jam
See them running
Now where are they going to
To follow them, leads you nowhere
Shout to them quickly but no one can hear you
All they can do is to stare

Your bowler hats are turning green

As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground
And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air
You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied

To all who think they know
To everyone that knows that they're right
D'you ever wonder why
D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night

Now as the daylight fading ends another day

Do you see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See the face on the billboard
That man is me

On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You get a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
Don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

Cos Jesus he knows me

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning

Slowly I stretch out my arms, freely
Shadows of night disappear
Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway
Guiding us forward through pastures of dream day
Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me
Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning
Come see me take my hand
Come see me in my land

Flying invisibly high, watch me
All on a beautiful sky, I'll be

We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
Look inside your mind
See the darkness is creeping out
I can see in the softness there
Where the sunshine is gliding in
Fill your mind with love
Find the world of future glory

You can meet yourself
Where the sour turns to sweet
Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames

Dark night, planets are set
Creator prepares for the dawn of man
You're waking up, the day of incarnation
Said you're waking up to life

Images he made to love
Images of gods in flesh
Man is wonderful, very wonderful
Look at him
Beware the future

Here is my world and it's waiting for me
Paradise before my eyes
I am alive in a new born world
This heaven will always be mine

He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at anything he hates
He calls to you, "Hey look out son
There's a gun they're pointing at your pretty face"
And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way

Five hundred little women
Are calling at their hero's door
Yes, their hero is working overtime

The silent sun that never shines,
She is the warmth of my lonely heart,
The motion of a turning wheel,
Can't you stop it and look around.

Baby, you feel so close,
I wish you could see my love,
Baby, you've changed my life,
I'm trying to show you.

A tiny stone that hides from me,
Can't you see that I'm just outside,
A mountain stream that chills the sea,

Cool as ice yet brittle as glass
A nervous wreck with a sweet facade
You're breaking up
You're breaking up now baby
You're breaking up your life
Into little pieces
Baby

Vanity arrived with fame
How she loved to see her name
She is beautiful, very beautiful
Look at her, and she's a model

Hey girl I love you but you won't listen
To what I'm trying to say

Fifty thousand men were sent to do the will of one
His claim was phrased quite simply, though he never voiced it loud
I am he, the chosen one

In his name they could slaughter, for his name they could die
Many there were believed in him, still more were sure he lied
But they'll fight the battle on

Then one whose faith had died
Fled back up the mountainside
But before the top was made

Don't get me wrong
I think I'm in love
But the feeling in the word is more
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me
Don't get me wrong
Open your eyes
Although I cannot show my heart
I'll watch and hope while you are near to me

One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams

Please take me away
Far from this place
Leaving me here
Take me away
To the furthest star in the sky
Take me away
To the deepest cave of the night
Take me away
Voices of love, here am I
In the sad sad world of fear
Take me away
From the power of my ambition
And I'll be happy

I, I've conquered time
Where will I go?
Am I still mine?
Take me away

To the furthest star in the sky

People moving about the town upside down, you know why
Little bits of coloured glass in the sky
Children pushing Mummy down to the park, in a pram
Look out the pavement's changing to jam

See them running
Now where are they going to
To follow them, leads you nowhere
Shout to them quickly but no one can hear you
All they can do is to stare

Your bowler hats are turning green

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning

The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me
The peace for all my thoughts
The night brings shadows to the street
It's the time for dreams of things to come
To creep inside their lives

You're concealing every feeling
Can you find me, deep inside you
Let me touch you, let me keep you
Let me know you're there

You're concealing every feeling

And I've nearly found a place to call my own

Waking gently feel her presence near
Devil shattered, warmth is everywhere
I am only a child of hers, my guardian goddess
Now, I'm reaching my journey's end inside her womb
And I think I've found a place to call my own

Am I very wrong
To hide behind the glare from an open minded stare
Am I very wrong
To wander in the fear of a never ending lie

Am I very wrong
To try to close my ears to the sound they play so loud
Am I very wrong
The happiness machine is trying hard to sing my song

Today's your birthday friend, everything all right
Let us our greetings to you send
Happy friend, everything all right

Crossing the mountains of truth see them
Shadows of night disappear
Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway
Guiding us forward through pastures of dream day
Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me
Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning

Come see me take my hand
Come see me in my land

Flying invisibly high, watch me
All on a beautiful sky, I'll be

I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go, get it away from me.

Cos tonight, tonight, tonight I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight.

I'm going down, going down, like a monkey, but it's alright
Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you can't see,

Tell me my life is about to begin
Tell me that I'm a hero
Promise me all of your violent dreams
Light up your body with anger

Now, in this ugly world
It is time to destroy all this evil
Now, when I give a word
Are you ready to fight for your freedom ?

NOW

Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies, that have spread like disease through our minds

Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand there too
But I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again

The part was fun but now it's over
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key

Oh mama
Please would you find the key
Oh pretty mama
Please won't you let me go free

Ah, don't you know, I've been on my own
But I'm coming home
And I'd like you to be there
I feel a little cold in the air
And you're not anywhere
You're just another face, I used to know
But there was still a chance to hold on to our love
Cos I gave you everything, everything I had

Like it or not
You have done it this time
And like it or not, I've had enough

Like it or not

Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, no no nothing could go wrongBut now I know
She's got a built in ability
To touch everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, she grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah

Got out of bed, wasn't feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun is shining so I head for the park
With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes

I got a cousin and she got a friend
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door
He wouldn't come out until he got paid

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by a pool,
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.

In silence and darkness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it would last forever

Blood on the windows
Millions of ordinary people are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly clear
Take a look at the mountains
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood

The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of hell
I stare round about me
Children are swimming

Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
I've lost all sense of direction
Watching the darkness closing around me
Feeling the cold all through my body
That's why I'm calling all stations
In the hope that someone hears me
A single lonely voice

I feel the sensation disappearing
There's a tingling in my arms
And there's a numbness in my hands

Big Jim Cooley commanded respect, whatever he wanted he could get
The badge on his waistcoat shone in the sun
It ain't no lie, Big Jim was feared by everyone

In the saloon one evening Big took a bet with a rancher whose name I forget
He wanted a herd taken over the plain
He called Jim "yellow", he'll never do that again
He got mad!

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours,
in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean,
as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.
There's an angel standing in the sun,
and he's crying with a loud voice,
