The elusive light

We have gathered to honour those
Who so early passed out of time
Flock together to preserve some warmth
Last children of mankind

So many have died for a cause
A cause without reason
So few dared to take a stand
Against the prevailing treason

What science gave
Science did take back
All religions enslave
We walk in our own tracks

We are killing the sun
To prove that there is none

We have gathered for a last farewell
To the essence of life itself
Sing together on this final verse
Last children of the universe

They all suffered pain so that our time would gain
The knowledge and wisdom to avoid it
But we had to know for ourselves how it goes
Impatiently causing our own ending

The said don't touch, but we had to learn
How it feels like to burn
It was shining so bright, the ultimate light
It blinded us all into darkness
