When God Logs-Off - Skyclad

Insomnia taunts me, I turned on my T. V.;

Rapt in the arms of a galaxy spiral

Heard a sea-shell hid it’s secret as well

This nexus is key to our planets survival

One precious moment it all became clear;

Brain-cloud-haze lifted by euphoric fear

To the unknown my mind’s eye directed;

Beheld every mote in creation connected

No more Hereafter, eugenics our master;

Sectarist lecture mere witless hubris

Humanity’s blunder was ceasing to wonder;

Why are we here;

what’s the meaning of this?

Virtual church without actual sages;

Souls under scrutiny, rats in glass cages

Enigmas deciphered are no longer needed;

Lost words of warning unheard or unheeded

We’re all hooked-up to the vast karmic internet;

Each of our souls on the end of it’s fibre

One sacred fact that we can’t download yet;

The truth is we share the same service-provider

One precious moment it all became clear;

Brain-cloud-haze lifted by euphoric fear

To the unknown my mind’s eye directed;

Beheld every mote in creation connected

We’re all hooked-up to the vast karmic internet;

Each of our souls on the end of it’s fibre

One sacred fact that we can’t download yet;

The truth is we share the same service-provider

The atheist plays whilst the orthodox pray

Fundamentalists freak-out as humanists scoff

A headlong collision 'twixt science and religion;

There’ll be Hell to pay

When one day God logs-off
