Monsters in the Making

from precious fallible gods by GREGORY

/

lyrics

I pray thee
Wash this from me
Or take your leave
My deity reprieved
Don’t forsake me
I have so much more to offer
Your legends, they fascinate me
But they cannot all be true
Nothing is ever quite as enticing
As the promise of complete acceptance
In our hunger we need reminding
We have gorged on finer things

Warmed by futile eloquence
The meaning is mistaken
Lift us up and we are gracious
Then turn away and forsake us

Even as we discovered
We lost our way
Time was a splendid temptress
But then nothing ever changed

Creatures of our own inception
Are feeding toward nihility
Gleaming eyes of kind deception
Edging from civility
Against your best, we stand
And in the image of Man
We redefine our makers

This feels real
It is something to believe
But I will not kneel
You are not that far beyond me
Forged in puerile sufferance
And laced with calming eloquence
The books we thought
Were Heaven sent
Were monsters in the making

Why is this happening?
How can this happen
If there is order above?
We fled from our ignorance
Glowing with confidence
Armored with reason and love
We set to improve our condition
Of fiction and pledged
Ourselves to resolve
All the mysteries awaiting us
Science had displayed for us
Nothing unnatural at all
But then we fell
Off the edge of the world
And there be dragons

If you believe in nothing
Then you have nothing much to lose

Experiments culminating in ourselves
Improving Heaven just to spite Hell
From knowing heights to here, we fell
We were Monsters in the Making

Frail as whispers taunting you
With the hope of a different outcome
Insanity repeats
The pleas to tease out
Monsters in the making
The loving lie we need to hear
“It’s all right, my dear.”
Embellishing our history
With monsters of our making
