Transcendental Needs

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known

Threatened your tradition, held sacred

Nature demystified

Black and white paradigm outmoded

Afterlife nullified

Cradled in the palm of God

Invisible essence

Silent night and empty skies

I never felt a presence

I am just a complex ape

Designed for sowing seeds

Imagination spawned the concept

Of transcendental needs

Every tribe walked this path and had a vision

Maybe God is just too big to fit in one religion

We call one truth by a thousand different names

In the end the sages all speak the same

Forge it, fake it

Never admit it

Too proud to be wrong

Temples, churches

All seem so certain

No one really knows the truth

Cast doubt, day in and day out

Beliefs so very narrow

Black light

A stab without sight

Am I worth more than a sparrow?

Strive to be immortal, eternal

Hidden worlds to discover

If we’re just decaying carbon,

At least we've got each other

Search the scrolls

Scout the stars

Explain who we really are

Dragging depths

Unearthing stones

Wonder if we’re all alone

All alone

Alone

Alone

I don’t know why we’re here

What came first, what comes next?

If we just get one chance

Search the scrolls, scout the stars

I don’t know why we’re here

What came first, what comes next?

A God in every heart, fragment of the divine

The choice is fear or love
