Timeline (parody of "Limelight")

Living on enlightened planes, the professing ones feel
 That those who think can't kneel
 In search of some reality beyond the gilded page
 Trapped in this ungodly hole, willingly detached
 With insufficient facts
 One must think up theories there to keep one's thoughts abstract
 Living on a timeline, the university
 Can't show you what's to be
 Those who wish to see
 Must look to Higher education
 Genesis to Revelation
 The gilded pages that God provided free
 Giving in to fake science – caught in a clever lie
 They dazzle our two eyes
 And then pretend an ape is just a long-related friend
 All the world's in need of faith to see what's clearly there*
 The Father's hand in nature
 He provided evidence outside the gilded page
 Living on a timeline, the university
 Won't show you history
 Those who wish to see
 Must look to Higher education
 Genesis to Revelation
 The gilded pages that God provided free
 Living on a timeline, the universe and me
 The close of history
 Those who wish to see
 Must look to Higher education
 Genesis to Revelation
 The gilded pages that God provided free
 The gilded pages that God provided free
