In the beginning there was a flash of pure light

In came the Photon 

(ooh ta-da!)

Stretching all space and creating all time

Released the photon

(waving through the cosmos)

They bend to make a rainbow

Some pierce you like an arrow

Where is it at?

When intention is a written stat?


They range through cults of class

Each glass

Seen by some

A specific class

A candid one out there somewhere

Enthralled by the very beat that drums

Wave nature aware

Warping through space 

It came to save the human race

We caught the photon

(careful where you’re steppin)


Compelling to thee to send it over the sea

We dropped the photon 

(a brand new kind of fungi)


They range through cults of class

Each glass

Seen by some

A specific class

A candid one out there somewhere

Enthralled by the very beat that drums

Wave nature aware

So ends the distress 

and all that is left is the photon

(heat death of the universe)


The deeper the well

Ring the black hole bell

It grabs the photon

(stretching ‘til it’s unseen)
