1d. Manu’s Descent

They claim a knowledge beyond this dimension
A soul beyond this time
A sense beyond what is mine
But I’m the Promethean Original Sinner
I steal Indra’s fire and thunder
End the Great Flood

I optimize, idealize, I realize
To find the limits of my life
No sense to contradict five
There’s no sense to strengthen their lies
I will choose to live forever to discover whatever could be mine

If I take their path I find the road will end
So I reinterpret, re-revise, reconstruct
Search through myth for seeds of truth
Like Adam and Eve for the Tree of Jnana
When all I have is manan, when all I have is me
So why should I sacrifice, just to fill their sky, for being what one cannot see

I descend to find another way
Through ancient glories of an ancient past
I seek convergence in a submerged Dwarka, a new Atlantis, Gondwanaland
If I took their vows then I know our road won’t last
Because God’s on Earth
I’m on Earth
