God's Belief In Men lyrics

Are we are so very pompous

To think that gods are as men

That should be kindred beings

So that we may better understand

An insurance to have against

The void of the great oblivion

That is given birth at our demise

When the temporal veil gives way

For men live in fear of death

Perhaps unvoiced, but known

And like little toddlers by the hand

Led off to bed as darkness falls

Those imaginative ideas we had

They vanish as we slowly age

When our playmates disappear

We implore a reassurant adage

Apart from all religions

From prejudices of man

The entity we all seek

Is far more than we can understand

That which we cannot touch

Or seldom see, but sense

Is better known by a name

We give to this mystery

Have we created God by our belief,

Or were we created by Him?

It's a matter of what we learned

Human ethnocentristic sway

A dwelling place without strife

Where there is no pain, no disease

Living as mortals day to day

Is this so in immortality

For life was hard, and left behind

So why do we wish to maintain it

Is it all we know, here now

So it's easy, eager to sustain it

No pearly gates, no vestal virgins

No harps, nor angles as men

A chasm deep, without limit

No light, no sound, no end

So then if God believed in men

Then men may safely seek

The road's destination afar

Circular and in mystique
