"Oh father high in heaven — smile down upon your sonWho's busy with his money games — his women and his gun."

":8 And man saw it not."

":7 But as all these things did come to pass, the Spirit that did cause man to create his God lived on within all men: even within Aqualung."

":6 And Man became the God that he had created and with his miracles did rule over all the earth."

":5 And these lesser men Man did cast into the void. And some were burned; and some were put apart from their kind."
