Descent of Man |
Confront the chaos boiling in your mind |
Question the doubt that confuses your will |
Bitten by the serpent, caressed by original sin |
Feasting on the fruit of the tree |
Bright eyes now grow brighter |
Shine out and illuminate the darkness… |
A starless void seethes and froths confusion |
The ebb and flow mark time |
A challenge of reason confronts the flock |
Dreaming of convention and binding absolutes |
Dogma turns on an axis of belief |
Collared by fear and its dowry of damnation |
Revisit sacred texts, now forced to explain beyond imperium |
Pronounce the living dead — yet still fear the remains |
Piety digs a necropolis for the future |
Encircled by iron wills, galvanized by serene faith |
Shuttered consciences in denial at all costs |
Declare encroaching darkness in spite of the light |
Yet from a bully pulpit spews an intoxicating thought |
Dreams of convention and binding absolutes |
Faith in an idea to provincialize all creation |
Borne of paralyzing process and ironclad mistrust |
Playing the music of creation through a skipping media |
Imperfection enshrined as a great destroyer |
The liberating power of original sin |
And the endowment of free will |
Each twisted by the other into the Mark of Cain |
Questions to confuse the doubt of your will |
And avoid the chaos boiling in your mind |
The likeness of being — shaken awake |
Achieve what God has not? |
The descent of man… |
