Genesis - Before I Turn

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
