In the beginning was the
word, man said: Let there be more light
Electric scenes amazer
beams, neon bright to light our boring nights
On the second day he said: Let's have a
gas
Hydrogen and co. are of the past
Let's make some
germs, we'll
poison the worms
Man will never be
surpassed
And he said:
Behold what I have done
I've made a
better world for everyone
Nobody laugh,
nobody cry
World without end, forever and ever
Amen, amen, amen
On the third we get green and blue
pill pie
On the fourth we send
rockets to the sky
On the fifth metal beasts and
submarines
On the sixth man prepares his final
dream
In our image, let's make
robots for our
slaves
Imagine all the
time that we can save
Computers, machines,
the silicon dream
Seventh he retired from the
scene
And he said: Behold what I have done
I've made a better
world for everyone
Nobody laugh, nobody
cry
World without end,
forever and ever
Amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
On the eighth day machines just got
upset
A problem man had not
forseen as yet
No time for flight, a
blinding light
And nothing but a
void, forever night
He said: Behold what
man has done
There's not a world for anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
World's at an end,
everyone has died
Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
He said: Behold what man has done
There's not a world for
anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
World's at an end, everyone has died
Forever
amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
(Amen)
