The Blinding Darkness - Lyrics - Pallas

Geometric mountains rise in the biblical sky They measure the miles to the moon The Dogon chart invisible stars in the African night A beacon flashes on Crawl out of the shadows into the light Pushing back the curtain of an endless night Strange helicopters fly in a medieval Italian sky Men travel beneath the sea in machines All figments of a born too soon genius' dreams So many schemes, so little time Leaping out of the darkness into the night Building hopeful bridges to paradise Pushing back the frontiers with man-made light But never stopping to wonder if we're wrong The guiding light of science could lead us to paradise Do you believe in the power of logic? Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to pay the price? V2 terror dives through a 1940's London sky The beacon's growing dim Then Little Boy melts imperial sunrise in Hiroshima's skies The world just watches Stunned The blinding darkness of science Has damned us all to hell We played with Promethean fire And God in his heaven fell So he damned us all to hell
