I was walking on the longest street in the world which became short when I got to the end when I started to hear something except the annoying bark or an annoying dog. I was hearing as if there was a gladiator match in the clouds. I was a football match somewhere. Thousands of voices cheering the same name or singing the same tune. Oau! I heard it on Tv before, of course, but like this, never. The sound was bouncing off the clouds back to the ground all the way to the longest street were little old me was walking by. The sound was amazing and I finally got the idea of veneration. I am currently watching Spartacus (yes, you've guessed it, hard as it was, a TV-show about gladiators =)) ) and so far I really didn't understand what the men where talking about , pride, honour in the arena, being cheered for, because that mass was a bunch of mindless animals...still their voices acting as one seems to mean something.
I made the connections because I've seen a series of movies about gods: there is Hercules (the Disney cartoon, Herc wants to be a god), there's Spartacus where the gladiators feel like gods when winning in the arena, there is Clash of the Titans, where gods exist because we adore them....a lot of ways of saying that they are not better...but are simply adored and that makes them gods. Then again, if there are superior beings their power and role are beyond our comprehension and what we think is "feeling like a god" is just as mortal as our condition. The funny thing is....why did man choose to create something that is beyond his comprehension and power? Is it logical? Yeah, yeah the story that he explained the phenomenons he didn't control through gods...then why didn't he think everything is some superior power. I mean today...why isn't shaorma a gift from the gods...but escaping cancer is a miracle? At some point the idea came out of nowhere and as the first. Why did that man create the superior being, create something beyond his control. Maybe it's easier to think that there is something out there "bigger" than us or maybe it really is and that first man did not invent, but simply felt the existence of the gods.
I appreciate the song, not the meaning of the lyrics
