Tower of Babble

I honor and love you, but I shall obey God rather than you. And as long as I have life and strength, I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy

Wherefore, O men of Athens, I say to you

Therefore, acquit me or not. But whichever you do

I shall never alter my ways, never adjust my approach to this maze

Never reform 'til the end of my days

Even if I have to die many times

God is apprehended by imagination, intuition, reason, touch, opinion, sense, and name (and so on)

But on quite the other hand, we find we can't begin to understand Him, so to some it seems a shame to go on

But He is all things in all

And He is nothing in any

He is often found in one thing small

Conversely, he is often missed in many

God endows us with sense and intellect

God endows us with reason we neglect

And despite the abolition by the current inquisition of any intuition that they don't choose

When it comes to God, I find I can't believe that he designed a human being with a mind he's not supposed to use

The rise of the state

The decline of Rome

Was inevitable

Rome had to fall!

The state above all! The state is as God walking on the earth

The seeds of Rome's decline were present at her birth

We should therefore be surprised

That man was ever individualized

That Rome remained so strong

The state will be strong

So long!

Nothing is true

Unless observed by you

Atheistic existentialism, which I represent, is

More coherent, I do believe it

The glory of God we are born to make manifest

There is no such thing as human nature

Not in all or few men

Since there is no God to conceive it

The glory of God we are born to make manifest

So high in my lovely Iv'ry Tower of Babble

(Babble babble babble babble babble babble)

High above the rabble

(Rabble, rabble, rabble-babble, rabble babble, babble, rabble-babble)

Greatest mind of history

Solving life's sweet mysteries

So listen to me

Know how life should be

Oh, what does it matter if they don't agree
