In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God
Now the word is with Us
The old gods are no more, replaced by logic and rod

The word has no meaning, no rhyme nor reason
Its power diminished by Us
The wisdom of the past, no longer in season

Where once was faith, now nothing but a memory
No longer of use to Us
Our stoicism, lost in this new world of reverie

This new century, like none that have come before
New challenges and experiences for Us
The problems of this world, we must learn not to ignore
