In the Beginning

The day was done,
And the light of the now dead sun
Shone upon the planet:
Earth is what they named it,
Though the leaves were red
And the Earth was dead.
Scratching her chin,
She said, "How did it begin?"
From nothing was the theory,
but to see it clearly,
Now that was true science.

It was a mighty arms race,
To see the creation of space.
When a team from China suddenly
Printed the blueprint for the time machine.
When news got out,
Everyone was all about,
Getting those plans,
Killing the man,
Who wrote it all out.

And so it was, an evil team
of evil scientists riding the stream,
Of grime,
of time,
To IN THE BEGINNING,
before there was singing,
And maybe they sang,
As they watched the big bang,
But no one heard a verse
As the travelers of time became the universe.
