The Rainbow Never Came
The Rainbow Never Came
#1
Or, "Doug is very glad that this is a capella".
This song, by the very skilled (and now amicably disbanded) trio Artisan, dates from 1993 at the very most recent. Link to the album page, which has a link to an mp3 of the song.
Quote:Said the Man, I made God in my image,
And I made the world that you see.
Like the god that I am, I will do what I can,
I can do what I want when I please.
CHORUS:
And the rainbow never came
As the sun beat on the land;
And the dove flying high simply died in the sky,
When the Man who was God raised his hand.
Said the Man, I'm the wisest of creatures,
The ruler of all I survey.
I will twist, I will change, all my world rearrange;
In my Garden of Eden I'll play.
CHORUS
Said the Man, I give life and I take it;
I own the Earth and the Sea;
With a wave of my hand I can clear all this land
'Til the only one left will be be me.
CHORUS
Said the Man, I control every creature,
And their futures I hold in my hand;
I'm a god, I'm a King, I can do anything,
For no-one can stop what I've planned.
I need no idol to worship!
I worship the Progress I make!
When I tear down the Old, build Tomorrow in gold,
I will take, I will fake, I will break.
CHORUS
Cried the God, I made you in My image;
You harnessed the Earth I designed;
With the power you employed, all My work you destroyed;
I'll wipe you and your world from my mind.
CHORUS
What would this do if it wasn't a capella? I'm not sure, but someone once labeled a song "Do not open except in case of world-endage". This song would be "Do not open except to cause world-endage". Also, the phrase "Sodom and Gomorrah" comes to mind.
Perhaps, at the cost of his life, he can drive a planet's (or plane's) climate from Earthlike to Venusian (i.e. the most extreme possible end-state for runaway global warming).
