I Dont Need Faith When I Have Proof

Progressive rock, triumphant and mysterious, synth- pipe organ, haunting choir background vocals

And the light said,
"You were never a mistake."
And the light said,
"There's a path you're meant to take."
No fear, no pain,
No anger left to hide,
For one brief moment I forgave
The babe I was inside.

I died again at eleven,
The angel came once more,
It took me back to that great gate,
That shining endless door.
The living light embraced me,
And showed me what was true,
The darkness loved me just the same,
Eternity did too.
And every touch revealed a truth
About the hearts of men,
That hatred grows from desperate souls
Who've lost themselves again.
They see the light in other eyes
And long to make it theirs,
While blaming all the world around
Instead of facing fears.

And the light said,
"You must learn to love your name."
And the light said,
"Every soul burns with the same flame."
No shame, no walls,
No enemy to fight,
If we could learn to love ourselves
We'd finally see the light.

I died at eighteen years of age,
The angel opened wide the door at last, 
And living light lifted me inside.
It held me in forever's arms,
And spoke of earth and sky,
Of heaven's hidden mysteries,
And reasons why we die.
I don't need faith to tell me so,
I stood before the flame,
The eternal held me in its hand
And called me by my name.
Then sent me back to flesh and bone,
Not simply to survive,
It sent me back into this world
To finally be alive.

You won't believe the words I heard,
So why should I explain?
The books were written and rewritten,
Through centuries of pain.
The lessons buried underneath
Were never meant to fade:
Love each other.
Love yourself.
Let no one be betrayed.
There is no devil shaping hate,
No demon in your heart,
We made our wounds with our own hands,
And tore ourselves apart.
Shadows are not evil, the night is our friend, 
Darkness merely half of a greater whole,
And when it filled with fear and doubt, 
The devil was born from humanity’s soul

So Love each other,
Love yourself,
Harm no one if you can.
Be the best that you can be,
And try to understand:
The greatest grace,
The hardest truth,
The thing that sets us free—
Forgive each other,
Forgive yourself,
For all humanity.

The rest...
The workings of heaven,
The engines of eternity,
The stars beyond the veil—
That's just mechanics.
But love...
Love is the reason, 
Love is life.

So that neighbor down the street, 
That foreigner so far away, 
The one that looks completely different
And the one that looks the same 
Love them all like yourself
Shield them from the rain.

So go ahead and doubt me, deny my words and truth, 
I dont need faith when i was given proof!

I died at eight years old, An angel met me there, No face, no name, no voice to hear, Just light and shadow in the air. Male and female, dark and bright, Two currents intertwined, It never spoke into my ears, It spoke beyond my mind. It led me down my winding road, To where forever starts, A doorway made of living light Reached out with glowing arms. And every tendril touching me Made eternity unfold, Every hunger satisfied, Every empty place made whole. And the light said, "You were never a mistake." And the light said, "There's a path you're meant to take." No fear, no pain, No anger left to hide, For one brief moment I forgave The babe I was inside. I died again at eleven, The angel came once more, It took me back to that great gate, That shining endless door. The living light embraced me, And showed me what was true, The darkness loved me just the same, Eternity did too.
