W.O.E. (West Of Eden) is the 2nd single released from Genesis debut album entitled All That's Left.This track, laced with the jazzy voice of Beth Fortune, puts in perspective the fall of mankind - how far we've tried to distance ourselves from the Creator in order to make gods of ourselves.
lyrics
Hook 2X
I fell so far from grace
Got lost in myself, lost in my own world
It seems I can't escape
I need You to find me and guide me back to You
Verse 1
In the beginning, there was a paradise on Earth - it was perfect
But the spirit of the serpent was lurking on the surface
And (we found trouble) Was it worth it?
To covet the ultimate treasure that humanity couldn't purchase
So then, the dirt, He cursed it
In disobedience they ate the fruit, they blame shift, and since, the dirt, we work it
And cast out from the purpose
Man estranged from the truth feeling worthless, yet still are trying to search it
Most that call it their own wouldn't know it if they heard it
Clowns captivated by the rings of lies - the circus
They'll masquerade in rings of fire when Almighty versus
The Master's wrath that's soon to come, they should be really nervous
Without His blood to soak it in; the hunger, couldn't curve it
The glory they believe belongs to them, He's gonna merk it
A cup of lust to measure up the glass in which you serve it
But truth is the fruit juice that will give cowards the courage - West of Eden
Hook 2X
Verse 2
Your thoughts of entitlement's got you in your feelings like you da man
While you coveted and scammed on another man's land
She's been around the block - tampered by many hands
The loosest canon - Harlot of a new day
Gomer of the new age
Go on and turn a new page and see where you fit in
It's the leaky sin where everybody's been - no prophecy needed
No Hosea - cuz you're wrong and you know it
And your lashing out and temper tantrums show it
So don't blow it
It's not your kingdom, so you cannot overthrow it
Not a king, but a peasant, child. Bout time to grow up!
This is not a diss. Slip it on if the shoe fits
The truth hits with more than just a French kiss...receive it - West of Eden
Hook 2X
Verse 3
Give up a little sex for some change like they loving you
Now you wanna flexin' for some fame and they covet you
They don't know the mess and the shame that has covered you
Sifting through the stress and the pain, now it smothers you
Pause, Vogue, stop & strike a pose
Be that prima-donna that's beaming on every comma
But let me tell you a sobering truth
The world we live in does not revolve around you
And it won't stop spinning even when you're going through
And you can't opt to turn the cloudy grey skies blue
See I know this will shatter many egos and dreams
Or your thoughts, your wishes, insecurities and things
The extension that your selfie stick depicts when it leans
How paparazzi sheds a different light when it swings
Living the high life of a glorified heathen
A gold diggers reason for breathIng
It's treason - West of Eden
