Subject: Atheism
RECYCLE & REPAIR
When it comes to Evolution
They sow the seeds of doubt
But when the subject turns to God
They know Him inside out
And so they stand self-righteously
Refusing to be moved
God is not up for debate
But the Big Bang must be proved
Cue the quantum flux
And cosmic permutations
Countering the text
Of ancient incantations
chorus:
All the living left for dead - hope springs eternal still -
If a god won't resurrect us the Cosmos surely will
No fate to fear forever, no permanent despair
The Universe will rectify, recycle and repair
By way of healing recipes hatched in stewing galaxies
Pulling life out of thin air and exotic atmospheres
Religion claims monopoly
On all of resurrection
But the forces that give rise to life
Remain a burning question
Creationists insist that it's
Intelligent design
But if it's not, the matter moves
To just the work of Time
Elemental forms
Spur physical attractions
Activating bonds
Spark chemical reactions
(chorus)
bridge:
Perhaps in their own way each side is correct
And maybe in truth we are wasting our breath
Religion and science might both intersect
In no better way than transcendence of death
(chorus)
The Universe will rectify, recycle and repair
By way of secret recipes born in stewing galaxies
Breathing life out of thin air and exotic atmospheres
LIFE LINES
Everything has significance
Everyone has reason to live
Every day its ups and downs
Every choice an alternative
If God and I could now converse
My questions would be one
Before there was a Universe
From where was it begun?
chorus:
Span the spectrum of existence
Untold time, unmeasured distance
We trust new instincts and let go of old life lines
As we evolve and we decay
Into an infinite array
Exotic lifeforms
And more wondrous lifetimes
Everything has some influence
Everyone has something to give
Every door its ins and outs
Every "No" an affirmative
If salesmen selling Paradise
Had stopped you on the way
Before you saw the merchandise
Would you agree to pay?
