Subject: Atheism

RECYCLE & REPAIR

When it comes to Evolution

They sow the seeds of doubt

But when the subject turns to God

They know Him inside out

And so they stand self-righteously

Refusing to be moved

God is not up for debate

But the Big Bang must be proved

Cue the quantum flux

And cosmic permutations

Countering the text

Of ancient incantations

chorus:

All the living left for dead - hope springs eternal still -

If a god won't resurrect us the Cosmos surely will

No fate to fear forever, no permanent despair

The Universe will rectify, recycle and repair

By way of healing recipes hatched in stewing galaxies

Pulling life out of thin air and exotic atmospheres

Religion claims monopoly

On all of resurrection

But the forces that give rise to life

Remain a burning question

Creationists insist that it's

Intelligent design

But if it's not, the matter moves

To just the work of Time

Elemental forms

Spur physical attractions

Activating bonds

Spark chemical reactions

(chorus)

bridge:

Perhaps in their own way each side is correct

And maybe in truth we are wasting our breath

Religion and science might both intersect

In no better way than transcendence of death

(chorus)

The Universe will rectify, recycle and repair

By way of secret recipes born in stewing galaxies

Breathing life out of thin air and exotic atmospheres

LIFE LINES

Everything has significance

Everyone has reason to live

Every day its ups and downs

Every choice an alternative

 If God and I could now converse

 My questions would be one

 Before there was a Universe

 From where was it begun?

chorus:

Span the spectrum of existence

Untold time, unmeasured distance

We trust new instincts and let go of old life lines

As we evolve and we decay

Into an infinite array

Exotic lifeforms

And more wondrous lifetimes

Everything has some influence

Everyone has something to give

Every door its ins and outs

Every "No" an affirmative

 If salesmen selling Paradise

 Had stopped you on the way

 Before you saw the merchandise

 Would you agree to pay?
