atoms - the chronicles of manimal and samara lyrics

in the beginning
there was darkness
a formless blackness
amorphous, atonal, discordant, disharmonious
the prima materia
a primordial pool of death decay, life and birth
suspended in a timeless continuum
the spiralling substrate of the anonymous, the absolute
for nothing came before the movement of god over these waters

form and matter joined
a ray shines with no pause
from its coming to its being
order was created
order was constructed
and in the purest of acts
the summit of the universe was created

i am in heaven and on earth
in water and in the air
i lead forth the roaring waters
i am the wind that shapes the mountains
i am both cloud and rain
the wave of the ocean, the beam of the sun
i am the animals and the plants
the babe in the womb
the one born, and the one yet to be conceived
i am present, everywhere
i am the flesh and soul of man
the mother and the father
i am the pain of the sick
the heart of saints
and the will of sinners
the machine is the achievement of which man is capable
if he relies entirely on himself
god is no longer needed
eventually, it transforms him into a machine himself

when nation grows old
the arts grow cold
and commerce settles on every tree

it is the enterprise of industrial civilisation that modern wars have arisen
and will arise
it is on the same impoverished soil, that empires have grown
and by the same greed that many civilisations have been destroyed

the body, for the sake of which we desire wealth
is the ultimate cause of all wars

if we are to progress
we must not cease from mental fight till we have built jerusalem

i have no more faith than a grain of mustard seed in the future history of civilisation
which i know now, is doomed to destruction
what a joy it is to think of!

o good beginning, to what vile ending must you fall!
and in the end
there was darkness
a formless blackness
amorphous, atonal, discordant, disharmonious
the negredo
death decay, life and birth
a timeless continuum
