The DREAM of Things to Come

from The Imperative by GREGORY

/

lyrics

“I don’t think it is very useful to speculate on what God might or might not be able to do. Rather, we should examine what He actually does with the Universe we live in. All our observations suggest that it operates according to well defined laws. These laws may have been ordained by God, but it seems that He does not intervene in the Universe to break the laws, at least not once He has set the Universe going.” - Stephen Hawking

Life unfolds
In cryptic ways
Enigmatic roles
We seize the quantum day

Each of us
Is a temple of awareness
A unique incarnation
A god in progress

We are ordained
To experience Creation
To pose “The Last Question”
To bring exultation

As above
So below
With baryonic grace
We define our place
And bestow reality

“No fate but what we make. My father told her this. I mean, I made him memorize it up the future as a message to her. The future’s not set. There’s no fate but what we make for ourselves.”
- John Connor

We are mystified
By things we do not know
We are horrified
By things beyond our comprehension
Purified in the name of random gods
We deify the very form of our contention

AND NOW WE COME TO THIS:
One last DREAM before the nightmare sets in
Instigate a final communion
TERRAFORM PARADISE:
Love defaults to adoration; appreciation to scorn
If we dream of things to come
Do we collapse our own reality?
And each a god become?

Reality is a function of existence, a calculation
Yielding DREAMs of things to come

Our continuation is a function of redemption
What we have imagined can never be undone

Point Reflection and Parity Inversion blend our souls
Into amalgamated DREAMs of things to come

Denial will be our final transgression
As with everything we do
We have only just begun to dream
We shall dream of things to come
We shall dream

“And it’s my view that the simplest explanation is: There is no God. No one created the Universe and no one directs our fate…”
- Stephen Hawking
