Lyrics Jack Slater

Jack Slater

Omniscience

Wake up! Don't be afraid of knowledge!

Even without the events of 40 years ago

I think man would still be a creature that fears the dark

He doesn't face that fear

he averts his eyes from it

and acts as if he never had any memories of his past

40

years can be both a brief time

and yet, a long time

Man's fear has withered

and even time tries to wither the desire to know the truth

Is it a crime to try and learn the truth?

Is it a sin to search for those things which you fear?

My purpose in this world is knowledge

and the dissemination of it

And it is I who is to restore the fruits of my labors to the entire world

Fear... It is something vital to us puny creatures

The instant man stops fearing

is the instant the species will reach a dead end

only to sink to pitiable lows

only to sit and wait apathetically for extinction

Wake up! Don't be afraid of knowledge!

Humans who lose the capacity to think

become creatures whose existence has no value

Think, you humans who are split into two worlds

unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion

Think! You must think! Wake up!
