I took a dive down and in disbelief
My goal was realized south in the sea
A hundred feet from shore's infinity
Potentially

The reds weren't far off with the man machine
When they took down the ceilings of the Sistine
When they took all the icons off the wall
That made them strong

Heaven holds no reverence for the clock
And denies the doctors probes and electric shocks
Suggests theres more to learn beyond our block
Let's keep that lot

Can we trade the mystic for the scientific
And keep the dogmas that will keep us with it
I'd trade in all my trophies for the one
The coral's got

Let us mourn the dead as they deserve
For all is lost to them and nothing less
While we exempt the cycle it does them in
We are their kin

We keep the culture fresh with the ingredient
That keeps the skin from smelling at the wake
Can't it preserve the beating of my heart?
We hold the spark
So to the lab tomorrow wield my soul
Against the corporate pull and moral code
For 'til the twilight comes I will stay gold
I will stay gold

Can we trade the mystic for the scientific
And keep the dogmas that will keep us with it
I'd trade in all my trophies for the one
The coral's got
