A musical tribute to a mad scientist |
The Tower of Wardenclyffe In a day grown so dark there came once a light To shine on our starship alone in the night The people looked up from their fields and their trees The frightened gods trembled and fell to their knees On a night long ago filled with thunder and spark We reached up and grasped what would cut through the dark We moved to the rhythm of ten thousand drums And basked in the light of billions of suns The tower of Wardenclyffe scratches the sky With toiling people all yearning to fly The Master of Lightning in unfinished robes His terrible secrets will quiver the globe He stands all alone on the edge of the land All the world’s wishes contained in his hand As the waters rush by him he harvests the rain And sends it out spinning for all the world’s gain And the tower of Wardenclyffe yearns for the sky It didn’t take long to teach you to fly Sink your roots deep in the land of your birth Feel the wind test you and quiver the earth Yeah sink your roots deep in the land of your birth Feel the wind test you and quiver the earth http://michelletuesday.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/the-tower-of-wardenclyffe/ |
