deconstructing heaven
stained as we are by the imperfection of the human condition
encased in the flesh that both sustains and limits us
we cannot imagine the sacred geometry of the universe
but when we become the stardust that lights the blackest nights
deconstructing heaven
stained as we are by the imperfection of the human condition
encased in the flesh that both sustains and limits us
we cannot imagine the sacred geometry of the universe
but when we become the stardust that lights the blackest nights
every mystery will be revealed in a glory impossible to know
until we are part of it
until we are part of it
if it comforts you to dream of angels
and an old man on a throne have at it
but there’s no old man who made us in his image
we made him in ours still our indestructible atomic energy
and an old man on a throne have at it
but there’s no old man who made us in his image
we made him in ours still our indestructible atomic energy
will continue to fuel what we call life
in some new and wondrous form forever
