Data Mountain

about

(a lengthy sermon delineating the sin of hubris, delivered by a braggadocious Bryan Scary in the year of our lord 2012)

lyrics

A local hero searching for a way to pave the day and make his name did pray to higher powers
For opportunities to show the world the nature of the game he played - (it took him hours)

And every moment he could save,
He sat in stone contemplation

Pondering, with glory on his brain
A method to make the grade
When searching the whites of his eyes
The lines revealed a mountain high
Those of his kind can't help but do all they can
A trip to the top and he’d be another Superman

So gathering his things he made a beeline for the byway out of town
Westbound (a sheet to cape him)
And down the road a mile he turn to face the life he'd run aground
Profound (the word escaped him)
For new adventures he had found - the mountain seen in the mirror!

Head held high, his pace a steady purr
The wind cried, the heavens stirred
When out of the valley below
Rose a serenade of stone!

Throwing his bag and cape to the valley floor
Where he was going he wouldn't need them anymore

More of the same, he was looking for a change in the weather
Along the way thinking only of his place in forever
How could he pull it together?
Where was the fame that he sought?
"I’m certain they made me for something better"

(Look out, you're gonna get caught
Somebody's tying the knot)

"Data Mountain - we will find you!
Data Mountain - right behind you!
Data Mountain - bow before you!
Data Mountain - we adore you!"

Be all you can, you're no ordinary man - you're the future
(And it's spinning all around you now)
But look out below and be careful as you go through the roof, sir
Everyone's looking at you, sir
Everyone knows who you are
And what it may seem could be so untrue, sir

People will tear you apart
Cables can cut through the heart

"Data Mountain - we will find you!
Data Mountain - right behind you!
Data Mountain - bow before you!
Data Mountain - we adore you!"

(Be who you are or you'll fall off the mountain!)

Lo and behold it seems that you’ve reached the peak
But there on the other side isn't what you hoped to see
This mountain was only a trick, sir
Come greet your friends at the door
Seems you’ve been drinking a mean elixir...
