I know this is a bit of a bump but since no one posted the alternate order I thought I would do so:

6, 7, 5, 8, 4, 9, 13, 1, 12, 2, 11, 3, 10

Intentional or not it seems to fit quite well.

One cannot deny the Fibonacci sequence contained within the song creating a spiral.

The primary riff is in a 9-8-7 time signature which would be the 16th step starting from one.*

The lyrics themselves follow the same pattern

Black - 1
then - 1
white are - 2
all I see - 3
in my infancy - 5
red and yellow then came to be - 8
reaching out to me - 5
lets me see - 3

Notice that it follows the pattern?

The following verse starts at 13 moving down following the same pattern.

Again intentional or not it is a very interesting concept.

Add in the references to "spiral out" and it becomes more clear in my eyes. The sequence creates a mathematical spiral that is replete throughout our world and universe. Everything from galaxies to the ram's horn follow the pattern.

At the end we are told to keep going. Inspired by the sequence or not I still think it is a very unique song.

Give the album a listen in the alternate order. I find it rather enjoyable that way.

*The sequence is as follows

1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 13 - 21 - 34 - 55 - 89 - 144 - 233 - 377 - 610 - 987

Interesting coincidence, if you believe in such a concept.
