Lyrics

Did it hurt when you turned into a god?
Did it strike you just like lightning?
Was it funny? Was it frightening?
Was it defining or was it just a little odd?
Did it hurt when you turned into a god?

So you found the key to that stellar door
And you've gone where no man's gone before
And now you know just what the future stores
And there are no surprises anymore

You've seen the light from the inside out
But now you're lost within that brightness
That illuminating whiteness owns you now

Are you being born? Are you dying?
Are you falling? Are you flying?
Did it hurt when you turned into a god?

Can you read my mind? Can you hear me thinking?
Can you see my thoughts and the plans I'm making?
Oh canÕt you see the bitter toll it's taking?
Or the smoke from your soul incinerating?

Did it hurt when you turned into a god?
Did it strike you just like lightning?
Was it funny? Was it frightening?
Was it defining or was it just a little odd?
Did it hurt when you turned into a god?

They say the soul remains when the body fails
Are you the first to walk, reverse, this mortal trail?
Does it mean youÕre bound for heaven or for hell?

Must I now be forced to kill you?
To preserve the love that fueled you when you were human?
When we were friends? When you were frail?
Did it hurt when you turned into a god
