Verse 1 When thunder shook the ancient sky, We heard the anger of a god. Zeus raised his hand and lightning fell, A blazing judgment from above. When oceans rose and ships went down, Poseidon stirred the waves— We gave a name to what we feared And prayed that we’d be saved. Pre-Chorus Every mystery became a throne, Every shadow hid the unknown. Chorus God of the gaps, Living in the spaces Between what we could understand And what we couldn’t face yet. But every answer lights a match, And pushes back the black— The more we learn, the more we see The fading God of the gaps. Verse 2 We blamed the drought on broken vows, Disease on demons in the blood. The stars were lanterns hung for us, The Earth stood still beneath the sun. Then lenses opened up the sky, And microscopes revealed A universe obeying laws That evidence could yield. Pre-Chorus The thunder spoke in pressure waves, The tides moved with the moon— The gods withdrew from yesterday As knowledge entered every room. Chorus God of the gaps, Living in the spaces Between what we could understand And what we couldn’t face yet. But every answer lights a match, And pushes back the black— The more we learn, the more we see The fading God of the gaps. Verse 3 Yet every door that science opens Shows a hundred doors behind. We’re finding things we never knew We didn’t know we had to find. Dark matter, consciousness and time, The first spark of the flame— The questions grow more beautiful, But mystery’s not a name. Bridge Part of me still longs to live When everything seemed clear— A hand behind each circumstance, A purpose for each fear. When every storm had meaning, And every loss a plan— But comfort isn’t evidence, And wishing cannot make it fact. Ignorance may feel like peace When truth is hard to bear, But closing both our eyes Doesn’t mean the dark’s not there. I’d rather face the mystery, However vast or strange, Than build my faith on empty space That shrinks with every change. Final Chorus God of the gaps, There’s less room left to hide in. The borders of our ignorance Keep moving and dividing. And every answer lights a match, Revealing deeper black— For everything we come to know, A thousand questions answer back. Outro So let the thunder simply roll, Let oceans meet the shore. We do not lose the wonder When we learn a little more. The truth may steal our simple world, But give a universe instead— The gaps may fade before our eyes, While wonder lies ahead.
