And God said
Let there be the lights In the firmament Of the heaven Let there be lights in heaven To divide the day from the night And let them be for signs For seasons and for days, and years And let then be for lights In the firmament To give light upon the earth And it was so, and God made two great lights The greater light to rule the day And the lesser light to rule the night The stars as well and God set them in the firmament To give light upon the earth And to rule over the day and over the night And to divide the darkness from the light Let there be a firmament In the midst of the waters Let there be a firmament In the midst of the waters And God said Let the waters bring forth, abundantly The moving creature that hath life And foul that may fly above the earth In the open firmament of heaven ...or so do some people believe Above the earth in the open firmament And to rule over the day and over the night And to divide the darkness from the light Let there be a firmament In the midst of the waters Let there be a firmament In the midst of the waters 03. The First Commandment Of The Luminaries
The sun is a luminary whose egress
Is an opening of the sky Which is found on the west And in the east lies its ingress The sun is rising through six openings And there are six through with it sets The moon uses the same And all the stars, they guide their way First there goes out the greatest light Whose name is the sun It's round just like the roundness of the sky Filled with light The chariot in which it rises is Driven by the blowing wind The great light sets in the west And returns by the Northeast In order to go to the east It is guided so that it shall reach The eastern gate and shine In the black face of the sky First there goes out the greatest light Whose name is the sun It's round just like the roundness of the sky Filled with light First there goes out the greatest light Whose name is the sun It's round just like the roundness of the sky First there goes out the greatest light Whose name is the sun It's round just like the roundness of the sky Filled with light 04. Ptolemy Was Wrong
I can tell you what I've seen
I can no longer believe I can't tell you how I feel I do no longer believe I can't tell you how I feel There's no ambiguity If Venus shows all phases like the moon The earth must revolve 'round the sun But no one will believe me It's like nothing Like nothing I've seen was for real But it's all real, I no longer believe But maybe I should keep this to myself I raised my eyes up high toward the night sky I've been searching for the eyes divine in countless nights But I found the watchmaker was blind 05. Metaphysics Of The Hangman
On their long journey
That leads them toward the light Winston Smith shall be their guide They are trying so hard to believe That two and two always makes five That two and two makes five... Reason won't concuss The irrevocable truth And if there's contradiction Keep the faith, burn the proof In order to protect ourselves From the superstitions of priests and moralists And the trickery of evangelists Let us be done with the idea of moral law Where do your values come from? From inside yourself? Or from some self-appointed Moral cognoscentes Who disguised their own ideas As universal truth? Where do your values come from? From inside yourself? Or from some self-appointed Moral cognoscentes Who disguised their own ideas As universal truth? Trying so hard to believe That two and two makes five... Reason won't concuss The irrevocable truth And if there's contradiction Keep the faith, burn the proof Where do your values come from? From inside yourself? Or from some self-appointed Moral cognoscentes Who disguised their own ideas As universal truth? 06. Catharsis Of A Heretic
I refuse to shroud my past
These walls in here allow no rest Tomorrow morning I'll be dead But this place will burn before the sun Will drown in the ocean And nothing will ever be the same again Yes, you can put me to the test Or you can cut my tongue at last Ideas are wandering through my head What if all that I never said were true? And if everything that is happening were due? If all these things that are happening were really due? 07. Swallowed By The Earth
Tonight the earth opened up
And swallowed quite a lot Of all the pretty things That don't mean anything to me nor to you Nor to anyone who likes the feel Of cold wind blowing from the sea And dead leaves falling from the trees Whirling through the air Like rotten vessels on their way To the ground Warm rain kept pouring down The streets submersed in rising water And all the clouds were looking down Upon the people seeking shelter They are afraid of being carried far away To some place where they feel they don't belong But deep inside they feel that maybe any place No matter how far away Would be better than home And no one realized the Gods in Heaven We're giving all of them a reason to go And no one expected the water That now reached up to their throats Swallowed by the earth They disappear And so do we all 08. Epiphany
I will pray to the Son
He was crucified for me And I will pray to the Father "You shall have no gods besides me!" I will pray to the Holy Trinity And I will pray to the moon And the sun and the stars I will pray to Saint Luke The writer of the Gospel I will pray to Saint Paul And ask him to cure my affliction I'll pray to Mary Second only to the Lord Will pray to the moon And the sun and the stars One God, or three? A strange epiphany I will pray to Saint Luke The writer of the Gospel I will pray to Saint Paul And ask him to cure my affliction I'll pray to Mary Second only to the Lord Will pray to the moon And the sun and the stars 09. The Origin Of Species
Yes, it's quite hard to believe
That we all come from the same seed The scrub, the cockroach and the human being It's hard to see how the perfection of complex organs Was achieved without an engineer But all you see is the human eye On top of the mountain peak, so high A steep wall of rock Impossible to climb Our imagination is left behind But there is a gentle slope on the backside And even worms have simple eyes That help them distinguish darkness from light From here it just takes a long long time To the miracle of the lens eye But all you see is the human eye On top of the mountain peak, so high A steep wall of rock Impossible to climb Our imagination is left behind But there is a gentle slope on the backside And even worms have simple eyes That help them distinguish darkness from light Our brains are accustomed To the scope of a lifetime We will never be able to see How the sluggish vessel of evolution Is slowly creeping up the hill Uphill There's no other solution There's no other solution There's no alternative to the theory of evolution From here it just takes a long long time To the miracle of the lens eye 10. The Origin Of God
A prime mover only shifts the problem
If every complex structure needs an architect; Then this prime mover must be Even more complex than anything he created Who made your architect? Who made your architect? Where does he come from? What is he made of? |
