Light split the dark like a bold revelation Words turned the void into a breathing creation Sky stretched wide while the oceans were named Dust kissed life and the image was claimed But the fruit oh the fruit it broke the chain Knowledge in the bite now we carry the stain Snake whispered low truth got twisted Paradise lost now the ground feels shifted Cain threw shade Abel hit the dirt Brotherhood cracked blood smeared the earth Jealousy’s a shadow it creeps and it lingers Pointing blame with crimson stained fingers Generations grew towers climbed high Reaching for the heavens but the tongues went awry Legacy's a whisper carried by the breeze Nàmes etched in stone roots in family trees Who are we to judge who are we to reign We're naming the stars but can't stop the pain In the beginning we rose from clay In the beginning we felt that day Name it all claim it all but we're still small In the beginning we heard the call Out of the void where shadows play A spark ignites a bright cascade Chaos whispers I hear the voice But I break the noise I make my choice The clay is raw my hands are stained Shaping stars from the broken terrain Breath of life I watch it rise Creation born under fractured skies Order crawls from the cracks of despair A masterpiece built from the weight I bear A garden grows forbidden fruit The taste of truth the bitter root Temptation grins its hand extend But knowledge burns where innocence ends The fall is quick the ground is cold But still I climb with a heart of gold The serpent laughs but I don't cave I carve a path from the chains to the brave I build I break I bend the frame From dust to dawn I call its name Creation screams it shakes it molds The world begins as Genesis unfolds In the beginning we rose from clay In the beginning we felt that day Name it all claim it all but we're still small In the beginning we heard the call Two sons in the field one hand’s red with dirt The other's dreams shattered laid down in the earth Echoes of Eden still cling to the air A garden turned graveyard nobody cared Am I my brother's keeper or his shadow to fight Wrestling angels at dawn losing sleep every night Legacy's a mirror but it cuts like a blade A reflection of choices our fathers once made The firstborn’s curse the younger’s plea Generations of stories carved into the tree Roots tangled in anger branches reaching for peace Can we rewrite the ending or let the anger increase The past whispers softly but it screams in our veins A cycle of struggle of losses and gains I see the same fight in your eyes as mine Two sides of a coin spinning through time The dreams we inherit the sins we can't hide Do we carry them forward or leave them outside Bloodlines and shadows they pull and they bind We carry their burdens the weight in our mind Break the chains or repeat it's a war we must choose Bloodlines and shadows there's too much to lose In the beginning

In the beginning 2
