next song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 (3rd disc) Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Genesis: From Genesis To Revelation In The Wilderness
(Phillips/Gabriel/Banks/Rutherford)
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

Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill
Death is easy as a substitute for pride
Victors join together, happy in their bed
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead

   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...
next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Shepherd
(Banks/Gabriel/Rutherford/Phillips/Mayhew)
Rise up! Take your lyre and sing
Listen! To the news I bring

Frosty breath on the window
See a friend in the snow that gently falls
Feel the truth in those sad eyes
See the smile that's so rare
Just like the love
She waits for...

And she plays a game of her own
As she sleeps within the firelight
For her dreams are incredibly wild
But they're lost and gone forever, with the dawn

Fair and friend of the fleece spoke
Warrior bold, shepherd wise, fair prince of peace
Someone waits in the doorway
On a white horse he comes and holds out the hand
She waits for...

So they ride through a valley of mist
To a castle in the heavens
Where he lays her down to rest
But he's lost and gone forever, with the dawn

See her writhe in her dream, then...

Mermaids sing in the sunset
Sadly asking if beauty ever walks free
But Queen Frost only whispers
Maidens you will remain, to be free

See her writhe in her dreams...

Lord of the seven sons!
Keeper of the keys of time!
(Hear me)
next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Pacidy
(Banks/Gabriel/Rutherford/Phillips/Mayhew)
Pacidy, my love
Glowing ember of evening
Your eyes are frozen with guilt
I read my fate on your cheeks
The smoldering coals of a passion
Once a meadow of hope

Days of minstrels and bright steeds
Autumn nights and silk sheets
Your tender battle shadow on me
Scented lavender kiss-es, soft and warm
The union of strength in a love against life
Love against life

Pacidy, my love
Your touch, so limp, was once frenzied
Your argon lips were once sweet
A life has slipped through my hands
My spirits sift in a stale sigh
Did love exist as a dream?

Mother fawn of a pine wood
Shepherdess of my grief
Veils a freedom not for me
Far beyond the steep ridge, where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of beasts
Frailest of beasts

Where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of beasts
Frailest of beasts

Where blizzards
Blast the spirit of man, the frailest of beasts
Frailest of beasts
next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Let Us Now Make Love
(Banks/Gabriel/Rutherford/Phillips/Mayhew)
Please, I beg you hear this humble voice
Please, pale orchid flower, music of my soul
Alone, upon the windswept way
Descends the nightingale
She swoops to soothe my aching brow
Let us now make love

Please, I beg you hear this humble voice
Please, my emerald goddess, wash away the wounds
Alone, the pilgrim thirsts and falls
The Queen runs to his call
She stoops to soothe his aching brow
Let us now make love

Make love, make love
Let us, let us, let us make love (love, love)
Love, sweet heavenly love (love, love)
I promise you life will be good (love, love)
If you just stand down and try (love, love)
To be one with, so feel pride

Let us make love till the end of time
Now and forever

Please, I beg you hear this humble voice
Please, dear oyster shell reveal your hidden pearl
Alone, the deaf, the sick, the blind
Turn grimly for the knife
The prophet stoops to soothe their brow
Let us now make love

Make love, make love
Let us, let us, let us make love (love, love)
Sweet heavenly love (love, love)
I promise you life will be good (love, love)
If you just stand down and try (love, love)
To be one with, so feel pride

Let us make love till the end of time
Now and forever

Please, I beg you hear this humble voice
Come, let's walk the windy roads to find the truth
Revealed, each part has now been played
Your beauty will not fade
So cling to me, fulfill your vow
Let us now make love

(Love, love)
Sweet heavenly love (love, love)
I promise you life will be good (love, love)
If you just stand down and try (love, love)
To be one with, so feel pride

Let us make love till the end of time
Now and forever
Let us now make love
Till the end of time

next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Genesis: Trespass Dusk
(Banks/Gabriel/Phillips/Rutherford/Mayhew)
See my hand is moving
   touching all that's real
And once it stroked love's body
   now it claws the past.

   The scent of a flower,
   The colours of the morning,
   Friends to believe in,
   Tears soon forgotten,
   See how the rain drives away, another day.

If a leaf as fallen
   does the tree lie broken?
And if we draw some water
   does the well run dry?

   The sigh of a mother,
   The screaming of lovers,
   Like two angry tigers,
   They tear at each other,
   See how for him lifetime's fears disappear.

Once Jesus suffered,
   Heaven could not see him.
And now my ship is sinking,
   The captain stands alone.

   A pawn on a chessboard,
   A false move by God will now destroy me,
   But wait, on the horizon,
   A new dawn seems to be rising,
   Never to recall this passerby, born to die.

next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Genesis: From Genesis To Revelation One Day
(Banks/Gabriel)
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
   One day I'll find myself
   And wrap it in my love for you

Birds of the sky, may I borrow your wings?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To travel with me to the world outside
Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To come inside the nest I'll build alone

   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
   One day I'll find myself
   And wrap it in my love for you

Animal friends
Help me decide
When should I ask my love to leave?
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me
Breathe in deep
Now is the time
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew I'd ask her all the time

   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
   One day I'll find myself
   And wrap it in my love for you
next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Genesis: From Genesis To Revelation Where The Sour Turns To Sweet
(Banks/Gabriel)
   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
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes, now listen

   We're waiting for you
   Come and join us now
   We want you with us
   Come and join us now

Paint your face all white
To show the peace inside
Drift away while the saffron burns
To the land where the rainbow ends
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes in focus

   We're waiting for you
   Come and join us now
   We need you with us
   Come and join us now

   We're waiting for you
   Come and join us now
   We need you with us
   Come and join us now

   We want you with us
   Come and join us now
   We need you with us
   Come and join us now
next song previous song Genesis: Genesis Archive - 1967-1975 Genesis: From Genesis To Revelation In The Beginning
(Phillips/Gabriel)
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 the 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
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny

   Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
   Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
   Is that the roar of a thundercrash?
   This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
   Father, son, looks down with happiness
   Life is on its way

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 the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny

   Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
   Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
   Is that the roar of a thundercrash?
   This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
   Father, son, looks down with happiness
   Life is on its way
