You saw fire and imagined a home
You saw cattle and imagined a settlement

You saw a weapon and imagined your throne
You saw a sign and imagined a testament

You saw a woman and imagined ideal love
You saw a child and imagined a dynasty

You had an idea and imagined an opus
You saw your reflection and imagined autocracy

You saw some ore and imagined an industry
You saw code and imagined singularity

You heard a note, imagined a whole symphony
You saw a moment and imagined eternity

Imagination convinces you it’s real.
To not have it is to have lost

Something you’re already convinced you own
Which you value above all cost.

Our minds create our realities
Our spirits committed to the cause.

The culprit of the distortions is hidden
Our ancestors inherited from the gods.
