Barely a spark It was barely a spark When they first saw Creation It was barely a dim spark Half-lit and appearing Half-clear in the dark That night they dreamed and imagined Pulled a world up from the deep Everything we’d ever be Was waiting in sleep In the mind’s shining waters A blurring, a refraction There we were brimming We were multitudes They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now Gods of the now They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now We were the spark Gods of the now, now, now Gods of the now Light shining sideways through the water Every face became a thousand Every voice became a choir Singing somewhere in the silence Were we made or were we mirrored Are we the dream or the dreamer Half of us is shadow Half of us is ember In the mind’s shining waters A blurring, a refraction There we were brimming We were multitudes They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now Gods of the now They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now We were the spark Barely a spark Half-lit, half-clear Brimming, brimming We are multitudes And we are still here They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now Gods of the now They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now We were the spark Gods of the now Barely a spark They saw our darkness And named us Dark Gods of the now Gods of the now Barely a spark Barely a spark
