Gods and Other Fairies
Life on Earth is much too scary
I really am not free
I keep low, I must be wary
I need something to help me
I'll create something to protect me
The monsters it will tame
And if I don't like what I see
My creation gets the blame
I'll create a God who's really strong
He'll stride ahead of me
Protecting me from all that's wrong
All will bend their knee
Your glory is too bright to behold
Your wisdom's too much for my head
Your blazing eyes are burning gold
Your shining sword fills me with dread
Safe at last, I turn my mind
To things that interest me
This is strange, now I find
My God is ruling me
He controls all with his might
And tells all how to think
He decides what's wrong and right
My universe has begun to shrink
The God creature controls everything
He monitors our thought
My god has got me on a string
This is not what I sought
His glory burns my very eyes
His wisdom limits me
His burning eyes see through lies
His glowing sword threatens me
The glory is beginning to dim
This God won't let me grow
How can I do without him?
What happened to his glow?
He destroys anything strange
He acts upon a whim
In order to be able to change
I withdraw my power from him
My glory illuminates all reality
My wisdom creates worlds for me
My eyes see beauty in thee
My sword rests upon my knee
All in all I feel better now
I'm free to do as I desire
I, as a god, will allow
Myself to fly much higher
