Journeys to Infinity

[Intro] [Verse, spoken] Separated from God, a place called hell with weeping & gnashing of teeth A lake of fire, and darkness as well, yet through this place, I now bequeath A spiritual odyssey with mathematics, of divergent series, journeys to infinity It’s rather simple, start with 1, then add 2, 3, 4, are you having fun? Keep it going, don’t ever stop, if God is infinite, that, to find, is our lot A series everlasting, new life to seek, not meant to understand, simply to peek The glory of God goes past our understanding, intensity is human’s demise, a glimpse is demanding [Refrain, tonally spoken] But in my quest for God’s endless magnitude, I found a paradox that broke my certitude The sum of natural numbers, a simple array, converges to finite in a mystifying way How can forever be contained so neat A finite result and divergence meet, Beginning with a sense of bewilderment, and left in awe and wonderment [Chorus, sang] Approach with care, the search for life & truth How you take the journey shapes what comes to you The road to death is wide & the road to life is narrow Requiring tact to traverse, don’t harden your heart, Pharaoh Regulation’s art, a mathematical dance Yes, even infinity will bow to God’s commands Walk with careful limits, don’t make your move so harsh We start to glimpse the infinite, the light in this dead marsh [Verse 2, spoken] I study the universe, seeking God’s face, physics full of symmetry in time and space Then as Paul was struck blind on Damascus’ road, my sense of certainty began to erode For only certain paths, not the unclever, could sate, contradiction inf & finite, did some truth negate In this cognitive dissonance profound, echos of predestination I found At the end of days, it’s said all knees will bow, so infinite is our destination, so somehow We’re all on our own individual journeys to infinity, divinity, the Trinity, Father, Spirit, son of virginity But you’ll never get anywhere near the vicinity, of God almighty if you don’t have the affinity To analyze the regulation routine you’re doing, It’s in smooth transitions, not sharp, converging [Refrain 2, tonally spoken] The secret lies not in the end result, but in the journey, and our consult Each prediction and repentant plea, draws us closer to him, eternity, infinity Every day, when approaching God, the asymptote, finite mind expands with humility from your gloat As a singularity in spacetime, geodesic bent, surrender your fate to reach infinity, omnipotent [Chorus, sang] Approach with care, the search for life & truth How you take journey shapes what comes to you The road to death is wide & the road to life is narrow Requiring tact to traverse, don’t harden your heart, Pharaoh Regulation’s art, a mathematical dance Yes, even infinity will bow to God’s commands Walk with careful limits, don’t make your move so harsh We start to glimpse the infinite, the light in this dead marsh [Interlude] [Bridge, defiantly] After safely walking this infinite path, minus 1 over 12, what a laugh If I’m supposed to take this as a real effect, I feel it resembles a topological defect Perhaps we fail to understand the basics, we’re blind even after we get Lasik True if big, huge conversations, Cleo Abram, desperate for wisdom deep as Solomon [Bridge 2, introspective] My model of cosmology no longer bound by shore, but open curiosity to history & our journey’s lore Narrow road, now narrower still, let God be your courier, journey on, warriors, smash assumptions, lies of the enemy Follow the wrong pathway and you shall never achieve, number after number after, Hilbert hotel, more will be Still apart from the maker of the earth and heavens, for forever, [Chorus, sang] Approach with care, the search for life & truth How you take journey shapes what comes to you The road to death is wide & the road to life is narrow Requiring tact to traverse, don’t harden your heart, Pharaoh Regulation’s art, a mathematical dance Yes, even infinity will bow to God’s commands Walk with careful limits, don’t make your move so harsh We start to glimpse the infinite, the light in this dead marsh [Chorus, sang] Approach with care, the search for life & truth How you take the journey shapes what comes to you The road to death is wide & the road to life is narrow Requiring tact to traverse, don’t harden your heart, Pharaoh Regulation’s art, a mathematical dance Yes, even infinity will bow to God’s commands Walk with careful limits, don’t make your move so harsh We start to glimpse the infinite, the light in this dead marsh [Outro] Unless you change your ways, and regulate your days You’ll never finish your journey to infinity
