Be

[HoagieOfDoom]

"Martius/Nauticus II" from Be by Pain of Salvation.
Length: 6:41
[Martius]
I'm at the line - I see it all
I am Nauticus now
And so much more
I am all you know
I'm at the line - just at the line
An eternity at the blink of an eye
In this place called time
I'm everything
Everywhere
I am all
Omni
"BE"
[Nauticus II]
I feel every mountain
I hear every tree
I know every ocean
I taste every sea (...)
I see every spring arrive
I see every summer thrive
I see every autumn keep
I see every winter sleep (...)
For I am every forest
I am every tree
I am everything
I am you and me
I am every ocean
I am every sea
I am all the breathing "BE"
Effect:
For the duration of the song, Doug knows the thoughts and feelings of EVERYTHING. Due to the insane sensory input, he would most likely be incapacitated during the song.
However, if Doug has heard the rest of the album, I think a different effect would set in. Namely, he would be God. Be is a concept album about God, and the final line, when taken in the context of the whole album, implies that the singer is God. I don't think he would want to play this song with that interpretation, especially in DW5.*********

Sheesh, can you imagine the repercusions of that!
On the one hand, it would probably give Doug a unique perspective on Gods... It also would point out that there are some definite loopholes in Ygdrasil's operating code. ^_^-NeoRaven

Hm. Sounds like a variation on Cosmic Awareness.
Or maybe not... CA gives the ability to ask questions of the collective unconscious, more or less. This sounds like it might just temporarily impose Doug as the central processing unit of a planetary organism... (Gaia theory, anyone?)

I was looking through the suggestions to update the Arsenal list I have, and ran across this one. While re-reading it, I had a horrid thought:

---

In the Oh My Brother world, that would be Yggdrasil, would it not? Imagine Doug suddenly discovering he can hack The Computer That Runs Reality...
