Theme, recurring epoch

Ages now long gone

Seek and you will find the link you looked for all along

Follow reasoned path

Most objective view

Question what you ask before you ask it

Monomythic

Timeless gimmick

Common story

That defines a hero

Monomythic

With a thousand faces

Basic pattern

For the trials he must undergo

Adventure, refusal, supernatural

One mission as initiation, temptation

From death to rebirth, now exalted

Atone in triumph, apotheosis

This is not a message of blasphemy

This is some guidance for how it has to be

All mythology in Heaven

Does not describe the truth

The wonder I have seen in colours of existence

Fraudulent construct

It seems the game is up

You know you’re not a saviour you are

“Because I have called, and ye refused ... I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; when your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. ... For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.”

Proverbs 1:24-27 and 32
