A God Without a Universe

In the beginning there was only darkness and nothing
An explosion of matter was spoken into something
There was only goodness in this Godly host
This goodness he desired that the people should boast
But the only way that it can be displayed
Is to offer a choice between his or their own ways

The people soon made their decision
A future without a God they envisioned
For in a world of carnivores and ravenous beasts
Supernovas and Black holes beyond what we see
Chaos reigns in the Earth and the Heavens above
Is this madness supposed to be God's great love?

When humanity is left to their devices
They are wiped out by a flood and God devised it
Genocide to those who made their choice
Would the ones allowed to live now share his voice?

Little had changed as though the killing were for nothing
Anything left was not worth overcoming
Those who were chosen to live without fault
Still chose a way out if they could handle the guilt

But this is all confined to a small amount of men
Think of the terror across the world we're in
Killings, rapes, trauma, famine, torture and disease
Doomed to death for there are no days we can seize

But it seems safe to say that it's the life we have chosen
Just a taste of sin, enough to dip our toes in
That was all it had taken for the fall to arrive
A world without God is a world uncompromised

Oh Creator, Oh Creator, why have you bothered to save us?
If it really was finished is it time that they have gave up?
Is there a difference between the chaos and the order
Weren't they always the same? Was there ever a border?

Oh Maker, Oh Maker, why did you make these things?
The mosquitoes and the parasites and the horror it brings?
If to you as well, all these things are perverse
Then you have no rule, a God Without a Universe

I feel no reason to live
I feel no reason to stay
I feel there's nothing to give
I feel like fading away
I feel there is no reason
I feel so free today
I feel a change in season
I feel there's no one to pay
I feel alone in here
I feel the love around me
I feel there's nothing to fear
I feel like death surrounds me

I feel there's no salvation
I feel I have to be brave
I feel I need redemption
I feel I can't be saved
I feel we can't be trusted
I feel there's no escape
I feel my heart exhausted
I feel like a different shape
I feel surreal confusion
I feel like singing a song
I feel lost in delusion
I feel it's all gone wrong
