Holy father, who would keep us ignorance,
Dumb and docile in the boundaries of eden
Wanting for nothing in naked paradise,
Living content in the darkness of innocence
Holy father, who would keep us from the truth,
Denial of the fruit of wisdom
To gorge on knowledge is to suffer and die,
But to be human is to need to understand
Seek light
See clearly in the dark
Wisdom is power and knowledge is triumph
Seek light
See clearly in the dark
Wisdom is power and knowledge is all
From the darkness the serpent would appear,
And on forked tongue the true was spoken
The fruit bestowed not death but comprehension
So that they would be as gods
Despite the truth, the snake named the deceiver
And we were punished by shame and mortality
This flawless knowledge was worth the price paid,
Free from the fog of ignorance
Seek light
See clearly in the dark
Wisdom is power and knowledge is triumph
Seek light
See clearly in the dark
Wisdom is power and knowledge is all
Enlightenment there for those who would seek it,
Obscured by god, knowledge forsaken
Some meant for greatness, others to serve
Slaves to the rule of ethereal power
Faithful servants
Faithful slaves
Fear god in heaven, fear of a hell,
Slaves to commandment, in darkness you dwell.
For he who sees clearly, true wonder awaits,
A world of glory this side of the gates.
Go forth, free from blindness
See past, lies that keep us small
Reach out, through the darkness
In hunger, seek to know it all
Give thanks, to those before us
Heathens who broke the lines of fear
Who stepped out, turning skyward
Embrace unbound sinful light
Break free, awaken
See past lies that keep us small
Break free, awaken
Embrace unbound sinful light
