• A direct quotation of the Gospel of John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." This is the doctrine of the Incarnation — the logos assuming material form in Jesus Christ — one of the central mysteries of Christian theology.
• Forms a Christian-liturgical spine with "Introit" (Catholic Mass) and "Father And Son" (Trinity).
• The Word (Greek logos) also resonates with the magical / Kabbalistic tradition of the creative utterance — the word that creates the world — linking the track to "Acts Of Magic" and to the cosmological opening of "Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan".
