OK, I don't know how long this site has been up but I can NOT believe that nobody has at least tried to analyze this song. I personally have some extended knowledge on the subject that it deals with, so let me enlighten you:
This song is about creation, though I'm not exactly sure what kind. It's definately not about the creation of something good, that I'm pretty sure. The word "firmament" appears in several early American creation stories. It's also talking talking about creation of souls and discusses the "casts" or how souls molded.
Who is the "Yin" guy? That I do not know. Maybe made up by the band, as they do kind of have their own little cult-like aspects.
In case you're wondering, "Mercy, Severity" is probably my favorite Mudvayne song. Mudvayne is my third favorite band.

That's cool. I like that you analyzed it. I agree with you...
but one thing..
how are they cult-like? I mean, I wouldn't want to listen to a band that's trying to create some evil cult that brainwashes people.
