The Secular Age - Allegaeon

Disinformation scares us

Impropriety thickens and clouds the air

Arrogance presents itself

Unbidden and creating disrepair

Dogmatic achievements tearing

Myths and monuments apart at the seams

Under the veil of wonder and terror

Forcing the masses to make believe

No room for speculation

Those left behind beg for salvation

Failure to grow

Failure to swallow the truth of it all

To force the foyer open

And enter an age of gold

Intrepid and measured steps

That prove to go in no direction at all

Still water before the tempest

Hubris before the fall

Information era

Methods developed to cross compare

Evidence presents itself

Once hidden origins laying bare

Systemic beliefs that bound us

Disintegrate after thousands of years

Free from the reins of wonder and terror

What once was concrete now vanishes into the air

No room for speculation

Those left behind beg for salvation

Patience to grow

Patience to swallow the truth of it all

To force the foyer open

And enter an age of gold

Intrepid and measured steps

That prove to go in all directions at once

Still water absorbs the tempest

Progress forgets the fall

To come so far in so little time

Is what once may have been called

Despicable

To come so far in so little time

Is that which now is called

A miracle

Where do we go?

Now that we’ve swallowed the truth of it all

And moved forward

We’ve forced the foyer open

And entered an age of gold

Intrepid and measured steps

Have taken us in all directions at once

Still water absorbed the tempest

Perseverance will conquer all
