Genesis was the most popular progressive rockband in the '70s, '80s and '90s. During the 70's Peter Gabrielwas the lead singer until he went solo and Phil Collinsreplaced him as lead singer. Starting as an amalgam of two bands formed by schoolboys attending Charterhouse School in Godalming, England, the original lineup consisted of Gabriel, Anthony Phillips, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Chris Stewart, though Stewart was soon replaced as drummer by John Silver and then John Mayhew. By 1970, Phillips and Mayhew had left the band, with Collins joining as drummer, and by early 1971, guitarist Steve Hackett had filled the gap left by Phillips. The lineup of Gabriel, Banks, Hackett, Rutherford and Collins remained in place until Gabriel's departure in 1975.

Dusk Lyrics

Genesis

See my hand is moving
Touching all thats real
And once it stroked loves body
Now it claws the past.
The scent of a flower,
The colours of the morning,
Friends to believe in,
Tears soon forgotten,
See how the rain drives away, another day.
If a leaf as fallen
Does the tree lie broken?
And if we draw some water
Does the well run dry?
The sigh of a mother,
The screaming of lovers,
Like two angry tigers,
They tear at each other,
See how for him lifetimes fears disappear.
Once jesus suffered,
Heaven could not see him.
And now my ship is sinking,
The captain stands alone.
A pawn on a chessboard,
A false move by God will now destroy me,
But wait, on the horizon,
A new dawn seems to be rising,
Never to recall this passerby, born to die.
