lyrics

We turn our heads aloft
We search out patterns
consistencies

When they fail to emerge
we interpret vague notions

vacuous mantric cries!

upon the curvature of meteor trails
we construct ideology, deluded cartography
to embellish hollow lives

blossoming ribbons, aurora glow
the gossamer shafts through broken cloud

eyes of jealous gods watch eternal
finite digression warrant enduring pain

the sun will reach its zenith
ushering sacrifice
warranting blood shed

how wrong we are
to see such malice
in natures graceful
unthinking utterance


A chemist can look at an incredible sunset after a storm and understand the physics at work that allows such an event to occur, light refracting through water vapour, simplistic yet beautiful. His words do not detract from the beauty, but explain it. Yet so many with faith appear to think explanations shatter said beauty. A perfect moment is not destroyed because we understand it, just as offering the hearts of children to sky gods could not appease the sun when eclipsed by the moon. Explanations offer our consciousness room for expansion, to look beyond the superstitious and to fully comprehend the “awesome machinery of nature” as Carl Sagan often put it.
