Magic always ruled.
God is afoot, God never [C] died.
God was ruler, though his funeral [Am] lengthened.
Though his mourners thickened, magic never fled.

Many wild men lied, many fat men listened.
[G] Though they offered stones, magic still was fed.
[C] Though they locked their coffers, God was always [F] served.
Magic is afoot, God rules.

[C] [Dm] But magic would not tarry.
It moves from arm to arm.
[Bb] It would not stay with them.
[G]
Magic is afoot.
It cannot come to harm.
It rests in an empty palm.
It spawns in an empty mind.
But magic is no [C] instrument.
Magic is the end.
Many men drove magic, and magic stayed behind.
[Am]
Many strong men lied.
They only passed through magic and out the other side.
[Dm] Many weak men lied.
They came to God in secret.
And though they left him nourished, they would not tell who healed.
[Bb] Though mountains danced before them, they said that God was dead.
Though his shrouds were hoisted, [G] the naked God did [Dm] live.
This I mean to whisper to my mind.
This I mean to laugh within my mind.
This I mean, my mind, to serve your services.
But magic moving through the world.
And mind itself is magic coursing through the flesh.
And [Am] flesh itself is magic [Dm] dancing on a clock.
And time itself, the magic length of [C] God.
