These are the dregs
The last grains of the age
It may be the hourglass
Or earth covering earth
But not in Bethlehem
Not in Jerusalem
Not in Chorazaim
And not in Bethsaida
We will not again see
God humbled on an ass
But see
See
On a white horse he comes
Blazing sword in burning hand
"Lo, I am become death
The destroyer of worlds"
His hands are backed up
They're straining at his neck
What colour shall we rank in him?
What face shall we deliver him?
There may be the black dog
There may be the white dog
*** comes as Kalki
Kalki comes as ***
Teeth. Teeth. Teeth. Teeth.
But meaningless lights
Still hold our attention
We think that the holy books
Are written in blood and fire
But what if it's water?
The fire's turned to blood
The blood's turned to water
And the water's turned to what?
Milk? ***? Lies? Dust?
*** comes as Kalki
Kalki comes as ***
Everything becomes emptiness
But goes through fire
Secret mother (gsang yum chen mo)
Secret fater (gsang yab chen po)
*** becomes Kalki
Kalki becomes ***
White horse and red horse
Christ twists on the cross
Christ smiles in the guttering rubble
He brings not peace but a sword
Maybe the ocean roars immaculate
Maybe the stars fall incomprehensible
Oh these all tell me
These all spell to me
*** as Kalki
Kalki as ***
Where's your god now?
I'll point out his varied forms to you:
One: He hangs on the end of a tree
Two: He's nailed to the arms
Of that self-same tree
And three: He spins and soars
And laughs through space
One day the world sees
Oh one day the world sees
*** as Kalki
Kalki as ***
He lies matted
Half in time and half in space
Through the rising incense smoke
I see him in a crouded room
I see him crossing the mountain range
If we see man at his most bloody
If we see man at his most base
Shall we then and there say
"This is reality; this is his nature"?
what makes the pain
More real than the joy?
Both are so mignled
And muddied together
To pull them apart
We butcher the essence
And cripple its meaning
God is on the cross
Or three gods perhaps
If they are all one
Neither coming nor going
Neither waxing nor waning
But immense in their unity
Matter and space
He rides between the spaces
And he rides between the pain
In the secret heart of becoming
In the secret modes of darkness
His eyes are now shuttered windows
Oh man man man man
With his claws and his lies
With his peace and his pain
With his love and his sorrow
With his candle of hope
That stutters and dies
No liberation through hearing
When the sound of the world's collapsing
Deafens deafens deafens our ears
And pierces our hearts
*** as Kalki
Kalki as ***
Rolling and roaring
Exultant and trembling
Sorrow sorrow sorrow
Where the eagle flies
Where the eagle shudders
Where the eagle drops
Where the eagle plummets
All things merging
And all things dissolving
Then stars collapse
The vortex commences in space
The rubble collects
The debris gathers
Time starts to shiver
By heart's blood
If I dissolve into your body
If I hoped to find
White light in your soul
If together we fall into forever
Would we not notice the turbulence
That no longer waits?
First he comes
From on a hill
Then he's running
Throughout the town
Then he stands
Devoid of peace
Devoid of place
Devoid of pity
Oh my dear Christ
Carried broken from sad brown earth
Teeth. Teeth. Teeth. Teeth. Teeth.
*** as Kalki
Kalki as ***
***
Kalki

Genesis ist eine 1967 gegründete, einflussreiche britische Rockband, die mit weltweit über 150 Millionen verkauften Alben bis heute zu den kommerziell erfolgreichsten zählt. Gekennzeichnet durch ihre sehr eigenständigen Mitglieder, durchlief die Band zwei sich deutlich voneinander unterscheidende musikalische Epochen.

Die anfängliche Kombination aus komplexen Songstrukturen, anspruchsvollen Instrumentierungen und Arrangements sowie theatralischen Live-Auftritten machte die ursprünglich fünfköpfige Formation bereits zu einem relativ frühen Zeitpunkt ihrer Karriere neben King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer und Yes zu einem der wichtigsten und beliebtesten Vertreter des Progressive Rock der 1970er Jahre.

Nach dem Ausstieg des Gründungsmitglieds und Frontmanns Peter Gabriel 1975 und des Gitarristen Steve Hackett 1977 machte das verbliebene Trio, bestehend aus Tony Banks, Phil Collins und Mike Rutherford, ab den späten 1970ern eine signifikante stilistische Wandlung durch. Mit ihrem nun zumeist radiotauglichen Mainstream-Rock wurde Genesis zu einer der kommerziell erfolgreichsten Musikgruppen der 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahre.

Nach Collins’ vorläufigem Abschied von der Band wurde 1997 der Sänger Ray Wilson für ein Album samt nachfolgender Tournee engagiert. Anschließend trat die Band mit Anthologien ihrer bisherigen Stücke, Veröffentlichung von bislang nicht offiziell erhältlichem Archivmaterial und neuen SACD-Abmischungen ihrer Alben in Erscheinung. Im Sommer 2007 ging Genesis in Europa und Nordamerika wieder mit Phil Collins auf Tournee. Im März 2010 wurde Genesis als wichtige und einflussreiche Band in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
