Lyrics for Cosmogony

Heaven, heaven's bodies Whirl around me, make me wonder And they say back then Our universe was an empty sea Until a silver fox and her cunning mate Began to sing a song that became The world we know Heaven, heaven's bodies Whirl around me, make me wonder And they say back then Our universe was a cold black egg Until the god inside burst out And from its shattered shell He made what became The world we know Heaven, heaven's bodies Whirl around me, make me wonder And they say back then Our universe was an endless land Until our ancestors woke up And before they went back to sleep They carved it up into The world we know Heaven, heaven's bodies Whirl around me, make me wonder And they say back then Our universe wasn't even there Until a sudden bang And then there was light, was sound Was matter and it all became The world we know Heaven, heaven's bodies Whirl around me A dance eternal
