Lyrics

It's perfectly easy, because we don't have to think about it

Things become complicated only when we think about it

And that's because we're trying to translate them

Into a form of life which is very much simpler and cruder

Than the forms of life we're talking about

I see the centuries wax and wane

I know their mystery of pain

The secret of the living fire

The key of life, I live, I reign

For I am master of desire

Silent, passing by the folk

Caught in it's mesh

Slaves to its yoke

Silent, unknown, work and will

Redemption, Godhead's master-stroke

The breaking of the wands of ill

No man has seen beneath my brows

Eternity's exalted house

No man has noted in my brain

The knowledge of my mystic spouse

Watch the centuries wax and wane

Poor in kingdom filled with gold

Power swift and uncontrolled

Simple 'mid the maze of lies

Child 'mong the cruel and old

Plot their stealthy stealthy destinies

Patient in the breathless strife

Silent under scorge and knife

Tranquil in the swell of things

I bring them from the well of life

Love from stellar water springs

From the fountainhead of God

I draw out water with the rod

Made luminous with light of power

I seal each eon's period

Await the moment and the hour

Aloof, alone, unloved, I stand

With love and worship in my hand

Human beings are just as wiggley as nature

and our brains are the incredible mess of wiggles

And that's the part of ourselves

that we understand least of all

Talk with gods

Await the summons

Fire the brand

I speak the word

And there is fate

I know no happiness, no pain

No swift emotion, no disdain,

No pity, but the boundless light

Eternal love unslain

Flows through me, redeeming night

Mine's a sad, slow life

Though I would not gain release and die

A moment 'fore my task complete

To falter now, what treachery

I should not dare to greet the sun

Yet in one hour, dare not hope

The mighty gate of life may open

Call me upwards to unite

Even my soul within the scope

Of that unutterable light

Steady purpose, strong with truth

I pass in my eternal youth

Watch the centuries wax and wane

Untouched by times corroding tooth

Silent, immortal, un-profane

My empire stays unchanged with time

Men's cycles rhythmic as a rhyme

Move me as waves that rise and fall

They are the parts that crash and climb

I only comprehend the All

I sit as God must sit, I reign

Redemption from the threads and pain

I weave until the veil will drown

I burn and chaff, I glean and grain

In silence I await the dawn

Because sometimes

When I'm in the middle of all of this

I feel, as if I were in the middle of an amazing brain

In other words, the brain is a network of interconnected neurons

And each one of those neurons is a fairly simple affair

Because it either fires or it doesn't fire

It gives you the message

On or off, yes or no

But, what we call things

The plants, birds, trees

Are far more complicated than neurons

And there are billions of them

And they are all living together in a network

Just as there is an interdependence

Of flowers and bees

Where there are no flowers, there are no bees

And where there are no bees, there are no flowers

They're really one organism

And so, in the same way

Everything in nature depends on everything else

So, it's interconnected

And so, the many, many patterns of interconnections

Lock it all together into a unity

Which is, however

Much too complicated for us to think about

Except a very, very simple crude ways

But I am part of all this

I am, as it were, one of the cells

In this tremendous brain

Which I can't understand

Because the part cannot comprehend the whole

And yet, at the same time

I don't feel like so many people seem to feel

That I'm a foreigner or a stranger in this world

Its aesthetic forms somehow appeal to me more

Than most of the aesthetic forms which men have produced
