Love & Strife

There is no birth, there is no death, just elements that mix
A cosmic game of chemistry, a bag of magic tricks
We got the Earth! We got the Air! We got the Fire and Rain
They never change, they never die, they just recycle pain
They’re mingling together now to build a mortal shell
But nothing ever stays the same in philosophic hell

It’s the gravity of LOVE! Pulling us into the Sphere
It’s the gravity of STRIFE! Tearing everything in here
We are united in the One, a perfect, glowing orb
But strife is gonna shred it up and let the void absorb
The roots are coming back together! Watch the cycle spin
Let the cosmic blender break it down and start again

When Love begins to pull the pieces out of the abyss
The body parts are wandering, they’re looking for a kiss
There’s a disembodied eyeball! There’s a solitary arm
They’re rolling down the highway looking for a human form
A head without a neck is just a-bouncing down the street
A cow is born with human hands! A man with bovine feet
It’s an evolutionary nightmare! Monsters in the clay
Until the force of Love comes down and sorts it all away

I have lived a thousand lives! A bird, a bush, a fish
I’ve learned the secrets of the gods, I grant my every wish
The people think I’m magic, they are bowing at my feet
I’m sick of being mortal, man, the cycle is complete
The crater of the mountain calls… the lava glows so bright…
I’M JUMPING IN THE FIRE, BABE, I’M BECOMING A GOD TONIGHT!

It’s the gravity of LOVE! Pulling us into the Sphere
It’s the gravity of STRIFE! Tearing everything in here
We are united in the One, a perfect, glowing orb
But strife is gonna shred it up and let the void absorb
The roots are coming back together! Watch the cycle spin
Let the cosmic blender break it down and start again

To the volcano
Into the flame
I am immortal
