Hazel O`connor Eighth Day Lyrics

Eighth Day Lyrics

In the beginning was the word, man said: Let there be more light

Electric scenes and laser beams, neon brights the light abhorring nights

On the second day he said: Let's have a gas

Hydrogen and cholera and pest

Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms

Man will never be suppressed



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 for pie

On the fourth we send rockets to the sky

On the fifth make the 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 machine just got upset

A problem man had never seen 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
