Come gather close young leverets
and I’ll tell you a tale of woe
It’s all about man’s fall from grace
and his journey down below
It started out with Adam and Eve
but that you already know
So I’ll skip that part and here I’ll start;
Not so long ago…
Angels wielding flaming swords
stopped man’s return to paradise
for they knew well, to keep man out,
as he’d stay at far too high a price
Man’s mind thinks long and hard on this
and devises such a cunning plan
He’ll dig deep down to the depths of Earth
then resurface in the unspoiled land
And as he digs he discovers coal
which he burns for steam to speed his goal
soon he sees a precious sight,
diamonds that twinkle like starlight
then gold he finds, so pliable,
so fashionable, and valuable
and oil of which he burned as well
to power his way straight down to hell
Now the moral of this tale of woe
clean energy is the way to go
let’s create a paradise here on earth
and this prophecy will never see birth
