lyrics

God is no interventionist, that's a mistake
God's only work is chaos
There is an order here - but God has no hand in it
God has no hands anyway
This is some spiraling out viewed from far away...
Reveals what we were afraid of...
It reveals structure
That of an atom at play
At play without purpose
God is no interventionist
God's body and soul is pure untampered chaos
And there is an order here:
Humanity looking upward into the ass of another
Humanity looking upward into the ass of a larger physical body
It can't even see...
humanity looking into infinity
A telescope drawn and pointing into the same eye's retina
Sun burning in nucleus
Planets merely protons
Humanity singing a song
Meant to lull a soul...
God’s only purpose is directional
A code meant for organizing the true order of chaos...
This is order advancing
Domination
Ridicule destruction of the sentimental poets...
Some believing, screaming, benignly roaring as an audience
A signpost without direction pointing anywhere into the sky with faith
Singing still a nonsensical, child's limerick
Chaos in expansion
God knows where it goes
Let the record reflect
We had it down
We understood it
Message received
Bright and clear
