The Emptying of God Lyrics

What if there was a fundamental mistake in perspective, to self-ascribe the title of 'murderer' with such certainty? Was it not a man of straw that your knives found a home within? Was not the proclamation of highest murder but a subconscious attempt at usurpation- the feigning of responsibility to seize acclaim without actually raising a finger? What if it was you who began to stray, as a wandering child learning to walk on its own - amnestic to the hand that once lifted? Blindfolded by a perceived sense of autonomy and the illusion of volition, you declared yourself sovereign. What if this is actually the divine order of progression and you lacked the foresight to recognise it? Intoxicated by the pretension of wielding matter to your will, you believe this is all there is. O humanist, you believe you are the nucleus of existence; you believe you are unjudgeable! Cast first from Eden for enduring the primordial monistic division. The fruit was not of mere morality - it was of perceived dualism; perceived seperation. To perceive one's own self reflected back and to gaze into one's own eyes for the first time. To be aware of awareness; to be conscious of consciousness. An irredeemable price was paid with this advancement and with the attainment of meta-cognition. All was sacrificed such that you may shed the curse of inheritance and learn again through experience. Such that you may climb the rungs yourself - by your own merit. Then thrust into the plains of Judah for crowning the ego and penetrating the heavenly vault - but to see nothing with mortal eyes. No questions of competence spent towards the means of sight and inquiry - are you certain your eyes did not deceive you? You saw no throne with mortal eyes, and yet something must be enthroned!
