Genesis - Tekstovi pesama

"In Limbo"

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
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

Peace - floating in limbo
Limbo - leading me nowhere
Peace - now without motion
I cry - when will I die?
God - where is my soul now?
My world, please set me free

"Silent Sun"

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
Can't you feel in your useless pride?

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

When night reveals a star-filled sky
I want to hold it in my hands
When snowflakes heal the ugly ground
Your beauty hides the joy I've found

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 Place To Call My Own"

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

"A Winter's Tale"

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
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there
[with previous verse sung behind]

The evening fantasy begins
In the sandy lanes that cross the fields
The gentle rain will fall

The morning sweeps away the night
And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts
Bring meaning to my life

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
Can you find me, no
Yes deep inside you're a part of me
Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there
[with previous verse sung behind]

[ad lib to fade]

Can you hold me with your small hand
Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives
Future's brighter now
Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there
Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky
The sky is shining everywhere in our world
You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead

"One-Eyed Hound"

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

Have you seen the one-eyed hound?
Tell me where he's going
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Every place that I have been
No-one else has seen him
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

Everybody's telling me exactly where to go
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
People call and people talk
But they don't reach agreement
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
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

"That's Me"

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

They told me things about me that I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

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

They told me things about me that I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free move around 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

That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be

Shrivelled old man
Who hides from a world
He's never seen the light
That can set him free
His vicious life
Is such a shame
I wanna find out who's to blame

And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh
Set me free

"Image Blown Out"

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
Your city suits are coloured cream
You, you who changed my life
You made it misery, sadness reins alone
Wonder why you do this, to me
When I've tried so hard for you

People talking to the man who's digging a hole, in his mind
He's no need to worry, he's deaf and blind
See the dustman doing his round in a Rolls made of glass
He's gained everything because he's got class

Friends are leaving me when I did everything
Just as they used to behave
Trying to copy them, losing my real self
Floating away in a cloud

Your minds have blown you out of step
The rules you taught you never kept
You, you who changed my life
You made it misery, sadness reins alone
Wonder why you do this, to me
When I've tried so hard for you

"She's So Beautiful"

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
Things won't work out if you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey give it up and come back to me

You know your just an able sum
To get more money
For them you're just a product
For me you're the one I love
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
Things won't work out if you plan them now
Don't throw your love away
Give it up, baby
Honey give it up and come back to me

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

Don't take my love away from my arms
Oh no, I need her near me every single day
Please don't take her away
I need my love

"Looking For Someone"

Looking for someone, I guess I'm doing that,
Trying to find a mem'ry in a dark room.
Dirty man, you're looking like a Buddha,
I know you well - yeah.

Keep on a straight line, I don't believe I can,
Trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Chilly wind you're piercing like a dagger,
It hurts me so - yeah.

Nobody needs to discover me,
I'm back again.
You see the sunlight through the
Trees to keep you warm,
In peaceful shades of green.
Yet in the darkness of my mind
Damascus wasn't far behind.

Lost in a subway, I guess I'm losing time,
There's a man looking at a magazine.
You're such a fool, your mumbo-jumbo
Never tells me anything - yeah.

Nobody needs to discover me,
I'm back again.
You feel the ashes from the
Fire that kept you warm.
Its comfort disappears,
But still the only friend I know
Would never tell me where I go.

Looking for someone,
And now I've found myself a name.
Come away, leave me,
All that I have I will give.
Leave me, leave me,
All that I am I will give.

"White Mountain"

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 wolf may know
The scepter and crown of a king
Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack
Plunging through forest and snowstorm

Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky
Fang sped through jungles of ice
Hard on his trail, One-eye drew from the pack
An old hero conquered by none
Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead
Descent was the only escape
A wolf never flees in the face of his foe
Fang knew the price he would pay
One-eye stood before him
With the crown upon his head
Scepter raised to deal the deadly blow

Fang, son of Great Fang, the traitor we seek
The laws of the brethren say this
That only the king sees the crown of the gods
And he, the usurper, must die
Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe
But Fang fought the hero in vain
Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red
Never would the crown leave again
One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head
Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace
