lyrics
Big Bang
(Over at the Hadron)
To let truth be told
I’m quaking in my boots
At the thought of black holes
Revealing themselves
In the expanses of this old land
Speaking rhetorically,
Is it possible, for a second,
That some things were simply
Meant to be remained unseen…?
Imperial conquests in white lab coats
To deny and divide a natural world
Of all its order and all its life
To entertain the human mind
Chorus
Big Bang!
In Hadron’s ring
Big Bang!
For humanity
Big Bang!
It’s the God Complex
In sordid methodology
It’s the big bang
That’s necessary
For us to eclipse
Our Mistress’ might
Rock the foundations of existence
So that we are the center
So that we are life
(It’s the skin of God they want
A suit of hollowed flesh
Of creator’s might)
Chorus
Big Bang!
In Hadron’s ring
Big Bang!
For humanity
Big Bang!
It’s the God Complex
Existing abundantly
Big Bang!
It’s the big bang
That’s necessary
For us to eclipse
All of life
Rock the foundations of existence
So that we are the center
So that we are life
(Over at the Hadron)
To let truth be told
I’m quaking in my boots
At the thought of black holes
Revealing themselves
In the expanses of this old land
Speaking rhetorically,
Is it possible, for a second,
That some things were simply
Meant to be remained unseen…?
Imperial conquests in white lab coats
To deny and divide a natural world
Of all its order and all its life
To entertain the human mind
Chorus
Big Bang!
In Hadron’s ring
Big Bang!
For humanity
Big Bang!
It’s the God Complex
In sordid methodology
It’s the big bang
That’s necessary
For us to eclipse
Our Mistress’ might
Rock the foundations of existence
So that we are the center
So that we are life
(It’s the skin of God they want
A suit of hollowed flesh
Of creator’s might)
Chorus
Big Bang!
In Hadron’s ring
Big Bang!
For humanity
Big Bang!
It’s the God Complex
Existing abundantly
Big Bang!
It’s the big bang
That’s necessary
For us to eclipse
All of life
Rock the foundations of existence
So that we are the center
So that we are life
