Lyrics Yello – Beyond Mirrors
Text:
The age of science has failed to explain
Our universe in rational terms
Consequently the power of magic has gradually
Emerged from our conscious minds
Our most distinguished scientists reluctantly admit
That mankind is nothing but some billion creatures
Sitting on a piece of solar driftwood, floating in space
Magic is the art of influencing the cause of events
By the intervention of spiritual forces
Or some other occult device
According to Arthur C. Clarke
Any sufficiently advanced technology
Is indistinguishable from magic
Early civilization often mistook
The unexplainable world around them to be magic
Rupert Sheldrake in his book
‘Seven Experiments That Could Change the World’
Has stated that scientist’s attitude toward their experiments
Affect the results of their experiments
There is no such thing as a definite fact in science
And therefore the irrationality of magic
Plays an important part in our rational world
Werner Heisenberg, the leading 20th century physicist
Has stated that mass is a physical interpretation of energy
Religious organizations have understood the power of magic
And therefore monopolized the interpretation of the supernatural
To control the human mind
The universe as a whole is beyond explanation
Only at the end of the 20th century
That the great visionary Galileo Galileo was in fact, correct
The second millennium has come to an end
Scientists have to admit that the universe is magic
