Mother Of Mysteries

Oh I wish I believed if only for you
 In a Sweet Ever After beyond the blue
 In an Eternal Father who after the fall
 Cast us all out of the garden
 Now I've found an Eden I can believe in
 Leavened with nothing but time
 There is grandeur in this view of life
 Where one becomes many through struggle and strife
 But the mother of mysteries is another man's call
 Why is there something instead of nothing at all
 Why is there something instead of nothing at all
 If the devil's own chaplain is leading the prayer
 From a book that's been written with sorrow and care
 Then his hand is indifferent but it isn't unkind
 There's no evil design in his sermon
 For I hear a chorus of those gone before us
 Scored upon pages of stone
 (Chorus)
 Oh what an utter desert is a life without love
 Would that you blessings alone were enough
 To banish my doubt in the veil of your tears
 Oh my dear how the fabric has fallen
 For I've found an Eden I can believe in
 Free from the master's design
 (Chorus)
