Crown of Creation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You are the crown of creation
You are the crown of creation
And you've got no place to go
[Verse 2]
Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for
In the only way that it's granted
In a place among the fossils of our time
[Bridge]
In loyalty to their kind
They cannot tolerate our minds
In loyalty to our kind
We cannot tolerate their obstruction!
[Outro]
Life is change
How it differs from the rocks
I've seen their ways too often for my liking
New worlds to gain
My life is to survive
And be alive for you
Ah ah ah ah
You are the crown of creation
You are the crown of creation
And you've got no place to go
[Verse 2]
Soon you'll attain the stability you strive for
In the only way that it's granted
In a place among the fossils of our time
[Bridge]
In loyalty to their kind
They cannot tolerate our minds
In loyalty to our kind
We cannot tolerate their obstruction!
[Outro]
Life is change
How it differs from the rocks
I've seen their ways too often for my liking
New worlds to gain
My life is to survive
And be alive for you
Ah ah ah ah
About
Genius Annotation
The lyrics from the song are mostly taken from John Wyndham’s science fiction novel, “The Chrysalids”, published in 1955. The book is set in a post apocalyptic society, where individuals with mutations are persecuted, as they are believed to have been created by the Devil. This is because the society that they live in follows a strict form of Christianity.
