A Song of Entrophy? - ordnance11 - 02-03-2009
Viva la Vida by Coldplay
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
For some reason I can see Doug's chaos field turning into an entrophic field. Anything he touches breaks down..very rapidly.

Given the extensive use of religious symbolism and the fall from grace vibe, I'm not sure if Doug would risk it.
On the other hand, if Doug REALLY wants to get Mara into heaven in the Oh, My Brother step, he could start with Stairway to Heaven and then
use this song to force his way past the pearly gates thank to the lyrics:
"It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become"

Otoh, you can ue this song as the background for the NGE step when Gendo and company goes crashing down.

Frankly, I don't see the entropic thing. Well, no, I do, kinda, but I think you've been influenced by the last 30 seconds or so of the video.
As for Shepherd's idea, well, even when he posted that almost exactly 12 months ago, the specifics of the last chapter had been laid out in detail for literally years.
And I suppose I could, Ordnance, except I don't ordinarily provide BGM cues in the DW stories.
