Air Away - Genesis Lyrics

For God so loved the world, he cursed us all with arrogance and sin
A sinking ship goes down, without a sound, no warning of the storm
A child orphaned by the jaws of war, no justice can be found
A soldier builds a throne for fathers that have taken all they've known
It's changing, it's raining, I feel the blood rush to my skull
The tempest, it tests us, I feel the poison in my pulse
It scares me, to be free, in a world where nothing's as it seems
This story, could lead us, back to the shore or into the deep

It takes away, It takes away
And now we pay, and now we pay
It confiscates, It confiscates
Your breath away, this debt we pay
This genesis, it all begins
The compilation of our sins
This genesis, it comes to this
We pay the price of ignorance

A forest paved away for progress' sake in spite of all our shame
White plains of ice give way, it's us they say, yet people can't be swayed
It's changing, it's raining, when life decides it's had enough
The edge of, existence, where we awake the worst in us
It' scares me, to be free, these lavish comforts betray us
Be ready, forgive me, ash to ash, and dust to dust

It takes away, It takes away
And now we pay, and now we pay
It confiscates, It confiscates
Your breath away, this debt we pay
This genesis, it all begins
The compilation of our sins
This genesis, it comes to this
We pay the price of ignorance
It takes away, It takes away
Have we forgotten how to love
And now we pay, and now we pay
When life decides it's had enough
It confiscates, It confiscates
Have you forgotten how to love
Your breath away, this debt we pay
Ash to ash, and dust to dust
