I was listening to ELP's Tarkus album when I came upon this song.

Quote:

How was the earth conceived
Infinite space
Is there such a place?
You must believe in the human race

Can you believe
God makes you breath?
Why did He lose
Six million Jews?

Searched by the winds
This angel brings
Sad winter's start
Great awesome plot
Who looks on life itself?
Who lights your way?
Only you can say
How can you just obey?

Don't need the Word
Now that you've
Don't be afraid
Man is man-made
And when the hour comes
Don't turn away
Face the light of day
And do it your way
It's the only way

Interesting song. I wondered what inspired them to write it?

ELP's "Father Christmas" is perhaps the only atheistic Xmas song. See lyrics and more info about the irreligion of ELP here.

THOUGHTfully Yours,
