Levi The Poet - The Beginning. The Separation. lyrics

In the beginning, God spoke
And God I hope his voice sounded like thunder
(like that's where it got it's name from)
Like it reverberated inside of the
Son's eardrums i wonder: did
The father turn to the preincarnate
Word to ask him
About the sound he'd heard? And
Did he smile and
Contemplate the earth while the
Spirit confirmed their plans?

And God said, "let there be…" and God
Did that unparalleled melody sustain into
All eternity while the
Blessed trinity joined in harmony to key in
A void and formless land?
Is the expanse between
Earth and sky as deep and wide as
The difference between dark and light
And did you stare


At the stars like I stare at your night
And how
Bright do they shine from outside of time
And if there
Is no need for the suns in your kingdom
Well did you need them?

See, I cannot fathom the winds and the waves
Let alone the waves
The winds made on the day that
You say, "it is good
" and no depraved gaze preys on your
Spirit's conversation with the creation you
Made i can hardly see it!
Even my imagination wanes
Beneath the death that deteriorates
At my faith! But
Before a fog dimly, behind Eden's gates
Man - man
- walked hand in hand with his God
Face to face

Imago Dei

"Let us make man in our
Image" Dust into clay
Bestowing dignity to humanity
The potter crafted and shaped… and when
You breathed life into him
Was it a whirlwind?

"In the beginning, God spoke, and
The heavens were made, and all their
Host by the breath of his mouth"
And the details are speculation
But, I picture your creation of man as glory
That that heavenly host sung about his chest
Rises and falls beneath this
Cosmic anticipation waitin' to
See him open his eyes for the
First time… his eyes open and close
And if there was an expectation
It was exceeded in pupils
Finally dilated to find:
GOD holding out his hand in a
Posture that hasn't changed just
Like his plan
Hasn't changed since day one and
I like to think that they danced
To the glory of his name
Three in one as the breath
In man's lungs perfect

In the beginning was the word, and
The word was with god, and the word
Watched Satan fall from
Heaven like lightening, and
I'll bet that it was beautiful
That angel of light-ening up the sky like
He could shine as bright as
The son "Did God really say?" and
He still begins everything that he
Does by questioning the authority of the word
Of the one who did not
Succumb to his schemes… but the same
Cannot be said for Eve
(the mother of the living
And of the dead offspring who labor
Beneath the curse that drips
From good and evil's leaves) "You will not
Die, and God knows that it's true
But god doesn't want truth to be made known
To you" And as it delighted her
Eyes, she took of the fruit and
Her husband stood by almost as
If to assume that the fault
Wouldn't fall to the man
In the room if he used his
Bride to hide his cowardice
Before he took a bite, too
Evening, come king's wind, calling
"where are you?"

And I wonder what their
Friend felt like? Like
His heart had been broken in two?
Like from the overflow of his soul he
Crafted these people that were known
But sought to dethrone their lover's rule
"Who told you that you
Were naked? Did you eat of
That forbidden fruit?" And
The enemy still distorts
"obedience" for "constriction"
As oppose to opportunity to worship
You well I guess he lives up
To his name: serpent, constricting
Fame-thief
Slithering fangs sucking blood from my veins
While life and death hang in
The balance, and we suffer beneath the
Weight of satan, sin, death
Flesh and it's effects as justly sentenced
To us on that day

What of man? And God said, "let
There be enmity" and God
Did that devastating melody leave any
Hope for me while
The brokenhearted trinity joined in
Harmony to agree
To go forth with your plans? Is the expanse
Between earth and sky as deep and
Wide as the separation between you and
I? And do you long for my heart like I long
For your eyes to shine
Bright and fill the universal void
That's in mine and if
You do still long to call
Sons to your kingdom
Well will you free them?

See, I can cannot fathom the
Hight nor the depth
Let alone the scope or breadth of your
Love on the day that you wept and sent
Humanity from your presence, watching
As they went
And continue to walk away as though we
Owe no debt i can see it

Look, in the beginning God spoke
So is there no hope left? Do we all lay
Down and die the way we made our
Beds? In the beginning, God spoke
And is there no hope left?

Devil, you will bruise his heal
But he will crush your head
