lyrics

We were the centre of the cosmos
The jewel of all creation
The great work of all ages
The enlightened ones

The light of all the heavens
Core of the firmament
From blazing sky to shining sea
The pinnacle of existence

Shine
Bright
Saviour in the sky
Wide
Vast
Without limit
Grace
Of
God in Heaven
And My
Life
Has Meaning!

Enlightenment has cost us dearly
The egocentric dream is fading
But the arrogance lives on

The serpent slithered into Eden
Fed us from the tree of knowledge
The heavens cleared

Oblivion instead of heaven
The stark lack of a creator
And a life without a meaning

The existential dread, the realisation that we’re only human
Is a price some couldn’t pay

Cast
Down
From
Eden

Cast out
Infidels and nonbelievers
Cast out
Heretics and idle dreamers
Cast out
Any doctrine that does not place you at the centre

Wipe out
Any move to undermine you
Wipe out
A source of knowledge that confounds you
Wipe out
Seditious claims of an outside world

Useless!
The attempts are always doomed
Useless!
The truth will out, your world comes crashing down
Curse Them!
The sky has opened and you’re just another
Hairless ape!

Who’s caused:
Pain
Torture
Hate
War
Death

The Sky Has opened, and we saw nothing but ourselves
The Sky has opened and there was nothing there but stars
And Ourselves.
