In the beginning there was darkness |
|
And in the darkness there was fear |
|
And fear gave birth to God |
|
Whose rule was harsh but clear |
|
But reason led to questioning and God became a man |
|
He retreated to the skies |
|
Though some began a search to comprehend the universe |
|
The men of God screamed out - you must not question why |
|
So in towers and in attics |
|
Pure reason took its course |
|
In hiding from the so-called holy man |
|
Who'd wipe it out by force |
|
Then emerging from the shadows with triumph in their eyes |
|
Came the keepers of the flame |
|
As the iron hand of science took revenge upon the pious |
|
They wondered if the world they knew could ever be the same |
|
How can these mighty opponents be reconciled? |
|
The cross and the crucible fight for our souls |
|
In the here and the now and the after-life |
|
Mortal man can't understand the mind of God |
|
You need us to guide you to the glory of the Lord |
|
Creation's not a toy for man to prise apart |
|
God provides the spark that puts the questions in your heart |
|
He holds all the answers, lead you from the dark |
|
He holds all the answers - do not question |
