Lyrics When God Logs-Off - Skyclad

When God Logs-Off

Insomnia taunts me, I turned on my T. V.;
Rapt in the arms of a galaxy spiral
Heard a sea-shell hid it’s secret as well
This nexus is key to our planets survival
One precious moment it all became clear;
Brain-cloud-haze lifted by euphoric fear
To the unknown my mind’s eye directed;
Beheld every mote in creation connected
No more Hereafter, eugenics our master;
Sectarist lecture mere witless hubris
Humanity’s blunder was ceasing to wonder;
Why are we here;
what’s the meaning of this?
Virtual church without actual sages;
Souls under scrutiny, rats in glass cages
Enigmas deciphered are no longer needed;
Lost words of warning unheard or unheeded
We’re all hooked-up to the vast karmic internet;
Each of our souls on the end of it’s fibre
One sacred fact that we can’t download yet;
The truth is we share the same service-provider
One precious moment it all became clear;
Brain-cloud-haze lifted by euphoric fear
To the unknown my mind’s eye directed;
Beheld every mote in creation connected
We’re all hooked-up to the vast karmic internet;
Each of our souls on the end of it’s fibre
One sacred fact that we can’t download yet;
The truth is we share the same service-provider
The atheist plays whilst the orthodox pray
Fundamentalists freak-out as humanists scoff
A headlong collision 'twixt science and religion;
There’ll be Hell to pay
When one day God logs-off
