Genesis

At the dawn of the world all the lights were rising high
Saw it all from the stairs stretching up towards the sky
Oh you were standing there too but you didn't reply
At the dawn of the world no one new what it was to die

We were outside looking in
On a world with no closed doors
And the earth was caving in
There was nothing they could do for us
Cuz we were bound in the soil
Like the earth turned into dust
Ashes in the wind blowing, armour turned to rust
We were outside looking in, on a world with no closed doors

And the years ran by like a rolling stone
I didn't notice that you heart was turning cold

We were outside looking in
On a world with no closed doors
And the earth was caving in
There was nothing they would do for us

Cuz we were bound to the soil like the earth turned into dust
Ashes in the wind blowing, armour turned to rust

We were outside looking in
On a world with no closed doors

But it's never enough to write sad songs about it
When the water is up to your neck and you are surrounded
I lost my heart at the top of a mountain you found it
And I never got it back and I feel I am suddenly drowning

We were outside looking in
On a world with no closed doors
And the earth was fading in
There was nothing they would do for us

Cuz we were bound in the soil like the earth turned into dust
Ashes in the wind blowing, armour turned to rust

We were outside looking in
On a world with no closed doors
