Timeline
Parody of "Limelight" by Rush
(Genesis 1:1; Revelation 1:1, 22:18-19; 2 Peter 3:3-10)

Living on enlightened planes, the professing ones feel
That those who think can't kneel
In search of some reality beyond the gilded page
Trapped in this ungodly hole, willingly detached
With insufficient facts
One must think up theories there to keep one's thoughts abstract

Living on a timeline, the university
Can’t show you what’s to be
Those who wish to see
Must look to Higher education
Genesis to Revelation
The gilded pages that God provided free

Giving in to fake science – caught in a clever lie
They dazzle our two eyes
And then pretend an ape is just a long-related friend
All the world's in need of faith to see what's clearly there*
The Father's hand in nature
He provided evidence outside the gilded page

Living on a timeline, the university
Won’t show you history
Those who wish to see
Must look to Higher education
Genesis to Revelation
The gilded pages that God provided free

Living on a timeline, the universe and me
The close of history
Those who wish to see
Must look to Higher education
Genesis to Revelation
The gilded pages that God provided free
The gilded pages that God provided free

*NOTE:  Where the word "there*" appears in the line "to see what's clearly there," it should be pronounced in two syllables like some southerners do: "they-ur."

Revelation 1:1a
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.
