As He Creates So He Destroys |
At the seething and fiery center |
He sits upon his ebon throne |
Within his halls of darkness |
Which no man has seen and survived the vision |
Both blind and bereft of mind |
He pipes unceasingly on his reed flute |
And the notes that rise and fall in measured patterns |
Are the foundations of all the worlds |
Ever calculating in sound the structure of space and time |
Were his flute ever to suddenly fall silent |
All the spheres would shatter into one another |
And the myriads of worlds |
Would be unmade |
As they were before creation |
The flute of the blind idiot |
Both makes and unmakes the worlds in ceaseless |
Combinations |
Spinning on the woven carpet of time |
No creation without destruction |
No destruction without creation |
To unmake a thing is to make another |
Each time a thing is made |
Another is destroyed |
(solo: Dallas) |
The idiot god on his black throne |
Does not choose |
What shall rise into being |
And what should pass away |
He cares only to maintain |
His mindless unholy music of |
Random creation and destruction |
No living creature can look upon his face |
And endure its terrible heat |
And black radiance |
That is like the reverberating unseen rays of molten iron |
Which strike and burn the skin |
Of those who would dare |
Gaze into the countenance of the idiot god |
Never does he receive supplicants |
In his black halls of uncouth angles and strange doors |
Nor does he ever hear prayers or answer them |
Endlessly he pipes |
And endlessly he devours his own substance |
For his hunger is insatiable |
As he consumes his own wastes after the custom of idiots |
As the god creates |
So he destroys |
