I don’t believe, I don’t believe We’ll ever see the sun again We are the shadows in the gloom Lit by the waning crescent moon We shun the light of day It’s safer in the dark Much sounder underground So take my hand, I’ll keep you safe I’ll keep you sheltered from the plague Sons and daughters, settle down, we’ve found a way to live With everything they’ve done to us Learned to coexist Sons and daughters, settle down, your trust you have to give No matter what they’ve done to us, soldier on, we soldier on… One, two, three, get on your feet, it’s time to venture out Through the streets of Nethertown, into the Woods of Doubt Just stay alert, they’re all around! Watch your back, don’t drop your guard Be sure to stand your ground We’re fighters in the fray We’ll drive the beasts away Don’t you know we’re here to stay? So take my hand, I’ll keep you safe I’ll keep you sheltered from the plague Sons and daughters, settle down, we’ve found a way to live With everything they’ve done to us Learned to coexist Sons and daughters, settle down, your trust you have to give No matter what they’ve done to us, soldier on, we soldier on… So take my hand, I’ll keep you safe I’ll keep you sheltered from the plague We’ll face the madness in the grey We’ll live to fight another day!

Sink 04:01
Buoyant in the dark Hidden by the wind Crawl in through your window Fingers on your pillow Make myself at home Touch your underwear Masquerade as lovers Underneath your covers You, my little lamb Open up your eyes / heart Time to take your life Time to take your life Sheets are red with blood Slowly you succumb I claim you as my lover Now you must surrender Skin is cold and grey The curse is in your veins Soon you’ll feel the hunger Your world is torn asunder You, my little lamb Open up your eyes / heart Time to take your life Time to take your life Senses agitated Skin is grey and taut Mesmerised by plasma Addicted to your love Subjugate your instincts Classify your lust Bloodlust your religion Violence your defence Shadows are your weapons Stealth your greatest friend You, my little lamb Open up your eyes / heart Time to take your life Time to take your life

Sailors out at sea in the evening gloom Blue light on ship mast high no burn Take into the dark beyond the safety of land Go hand in hand in the night Sail into the thunder electricity charge Between cloud and the sea feel the static on me Flickering light lying close to the ground In a marshy countryside Disappearing then it appears beside me Floating over the ground Atmospheric ghost light will lead me A flickering lamp in the night The split beyond the light that shines on lonely consequences Illusion comprehend cannot defend this view of The light that splits the cloud Imagination hallucination reflection of our interpretation Resolution beyond perception Disperse refraction in our illusion Things are shining brightly up in the sky Move around this floating sphere up here Lightning flash it burns up sky high in the air Spectrometer silicon soil Atmospheric ionic discharge Radiation microwaving The split beyond the light that shines on lonely consequences Illusion comprehend cannot defend this view of The light that splits the cloud Breathing in another day Our mind awakes to shape the shadows Of morning light dissolving dark Growing all around

Take the time to look around See the world and hear the sounds Waves are crashing on the shore Take the time to feel alive Seize the world and hold it tight The waves are lapping at your feet The time has come to walk away Feel the wind upon your face… Take the time to carry on Undeterred by right and wrong You make the rules – this is your game Take the time to work it out Remember how it all began How you went from strength to strength How you fought to make amends And how you will until the end Take the time to feel alive The world in which you live it will provide All you need – the will to survive You’ve got to open up your eyes and make the time Take the time to start again When all is lost along the way Possessions only weigh you down, anyway Take the time to rise above A light that shines still after dusk Hit the road and kick the dust Leave your footprints in the earth Live to fight another day Take the time to feel alive The world in which you live it will provide All you need – the will to survive You’ve got to open up your eyes and make the time You must make the time my friend

Seven Boats 07:23
Speak to me from the stormy sky, the wind will fly then die It's not kind to be so still, speak to me from on the hill Oh, if it was possible after grief and pain To find the arms of my true love around me once again In the day of no creation nothing living here... A lonely star born from afar bringing new life near Then if it was possible for one short hour to see The ones we loved that they might tell us what and where they be Bring the solar wind, together, will form and live this life forever The universe creates no answer, to live within this dark together Oh, if it was possible after grief and pain To find the arms of my true love around me once again We’re best at once to sink at peace, like birds the climbing serpent draws To drop head foremost in the jaws, of empty darkness left to keep Then if it was possible for one short hour to see The ones we loved that they might tell us what and where they be In the morning light The sun will dry your tears Fade to black Returning life to here Speak to me from the stormy sky The wind will fly then die The days of light, move the river, the seven boats of our creation Moving on a billion years, reveals our destination Patterns turn, move and burn, determine the final battle cry Towards the burning sky...

Verbrennen 05:36
Like a bird above the sky at dawn In the air you fly, on the hunt for prey And you come to me Like a fiend devoted You’ll claim your victim I’ll yield to you Fire – set me free I feel it slipping through my fingers Gasoline Turn to flame – turn to dust again Throw my body to the wind and let me rest In the throes of death, in the grasp of pain I turn to you, to the fiery face What a strange delight Like a bleak reflection My destination: a colder world Fire – set me free I feel it slipping through my fingers Gasoline Turn to flame – turn to dust again Throw my body to the wind and let me rest Pallid, grey, cast away I’m in the air, soul astray I’ve gone beyond the final veil Limitless this sea on which I sail

Into the light All my prayers my dreams Thrown into the light Where once this soul it roamed The meaning of life No way to seek it out I'm stuck here inside They're feeding us lies But I'm afraid that's just the way of the night They're just beneath the surface Into the light Discarded, burned, corrupted Stuck here inside Window of mine - a door to the sky Nothing seems right A sense of something watching Gives me a fright I feel like I am choking Walking outside A voyeuristic notion From the inside Look to the clouds Something strange directs me to the way out Is this my own delusion Can't figure out my final destination Stuck here inside Window of mine - a door to the sky Head is aching, stomach churning A need to know is what I'm yearning Suddenly I find I'm flying Onwards upwards am I dying? I'm in a spiral falling from grace Down to earth with the human race Stuck here inside, I feel out of place Eyes are on me Freewill may be mine… Window of mine - a door to the sky

When the night comes to me, I close my weary eyes To the dreamworld, I know that I must go She’s waiting for me, in her castle in the sky But there’s a mighty maze of hazards to surmount Deeper I descend in the caves of mystery Keepers of the earth protecting me Guided by the light Through the hollows dark as night Be still my beating heart Up above I ascend, flee the monsters of the deep But in the cold light of day, it’s much the same Over land, over sea, through the corridors I race In the distance, the lady she awaits Floating in the sky, got to find a way to fly The palace pink, its gates are open wide Guided to the air by the dragon’s flailing wings Be still my beating heart Palace in the sky - palace in the air I’m strolling through the gates Palace in the sky - palace in the air My lady there she waits This is my chance to save her Save her from this brutal game… So begins the final stage My motivation right before me Princess in the tower up above Through the door and down the hall Avoid the snoozing orcs and ogres Princess just another level up The guards are slow “Catch me if you can!” Not far to go “Catch me if you can!” And up the stairs I glide until I reach the top The antechamber grand, the final space to cross In the dreamworld In the dream I’m exactly who I want to be And so I play Play the game Till I find her and I set her free Through the chamber Through the hall I can see the glow beneath the door And in I go The game is up I’m the saviour of the land again Princess Found you Come with me it’s time to leave this place… Palace in the sky - palace in the air We’re strolling through the gates Palace in the sky - palace in the air We’re free

Landslide 04:23
On the trail of wisdom through the trees Above the world, I feel the mountain breeze Snow is falling from the sky Will I survive? Cast away the yesterdays On we go our separate ways You and I we’re not the same You and I we have to change Spirits they divide The parts are black and white Far and wide we’ll go Ourselves we’ll get to know Until we meet again We’ll try to satisfy Dreams we tried to hide The wishes we deny On the trail of wisdom out at sea The desert wide, it opens up to me Northern lights immerse the sky Will I survive? I feel the pull of you again For many years I’ve fought against You and I we’re not the same You and I we have to change Spirits they divide The parts are black and white Far and wide we’ll go Ourselves we’ll get to know Until we meet again We’ll try to satisfy Desires beneath the surface, on the rise Spirits they divide The parts are black and white Far and wide we’ll go Ourselves we’ll get to know Until we meet again We’ll try to satisfy Dreams we tried to hide The wishes we provide

about

"The Limits of Deviation" is the debut album of the British trio, Genie Cries. The result of a much belated collaboration between the Brothers Gordon, the album is an experiment in rock, exploring a broad range of concepts, from a vampiric visitation in the middle of the night, to a pink palace conquered by an 8-bit video game protagonist. Join us, on a memorable journey through a variety of moods and musical ideas.
