Becoming God Lyrics - Singles - Augury

[Music: Patrick] 

Let there be the art 

Painful urge to create in all matter embodied 

Let there be the stars to sign the work 

For earthbound creation to worship when 

They'll start gazing upward 

Let there be light, glowing from a far 

Like a blasting horn bellows forth our coming 

Divine architecture drawn onto the veil of existence 

Your very existence, by sole will conceived 

Since the first cell divided itself 

Provided the canvas for the work to bloom 

Until the time came to make apes into men 

A sorry pinnacle drawn to regression 

Creation, you self-predacious kind 

The canvas you stained in majestic idiocy 

For eons all was miscomprehended 

Offerings slain for heaven granted better harvests 

To vultures alone 

To our image and resemblance 

[Solo: Pat] 

Animals we did disguise 

[Solo: Mat] 

Behind a mask of intelligence 

[Solo: Pat, Mat] 

The beast can be sensed 

[Solo: Pat, Mat] 

Creatures, so unfit for liberty 

Always at war to force-feed a vision of divinity 

Manipulating holiness 

You see evil in all senses 

Blindly guessing the why you've been 

Arisen, given speech 

[Solo: Pat] 

Made into flesh and blood 

[Solo: Mat] 

Given a script and a play 

[Solo: Pat, Mat] 

Characters (for which) higher will is reason 

[Solo: Pat, Mat]
