The Beginning Lyrics by Virus Inc

In the hush before the fire
Before the breath, before the sea
A trembling dark split open
And the good began to be

Light in the throat of void
Water learning its name
Sky stretched like a promise
Ground rose out of the flame
Stars were nails in the black
Pinned to a living dome
Every blade got a reason
Every beast got a home

And it was good
It was good
Every line was written
Every flood could be stood

You made it good
You made it good
We were born to see it
We were born to lose it
You made it good
You made it good
Then we bit the lie
And the gate came down hard

One voice in the orchard
Sweet with a rotten grin
“Take what you were never meant to touch
And call the ruin wisdom”
Hands reached for the shadow
Free will with a thirsty eye
Truth slipped like glass from the palm
And heaven heard the cry

And it was good
It was good
Till the crooked whisper
Turned the garden to mud

You made it good
You made it good
We were born to see it
We were born to lose it
You made it good
You made it good
Then we bit the lie
And the gate came down hard

Banished to the dust
With fire in our bones
Now we walk this earth
As sons of the unknown
But the first light still calls
Through the fracture and the rain
And every broken breath
Can remember Your name

Good turned gone
Gone turned grave
We were crowned with choice
Then dragged away
Good turned gone
Gone turned grave
Still the ember burns
Still the ember stays
