If Science Be the Source of Life


If Music Be the Food of Life

If music be the food of love,
Sing on till I am fill’d with joy;
For then my list’ning soul you move
To pleasures that can never cloy.
Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare
That you are music ev’rywhere.
Pleasures invade both eye and ear,
So fierce the transports are, they wound,
And all my senses feasted are,
Tho’ yet the treat is only sound,
Sure I must perish by your charms,
Unless you save me in your arms.
If Science Be the Source of Life

If Science be the source of life,
Think on, till all the truth is known;
For then there will be no more strife
As knowledge will now take the throne.
This cell, this star, this Earth contends
That all is Science, ev'rywhere.
Knowledge consumes both mind and heart
So deep the insights are, they scare,
And human frailty breaks apart,
Tho' yet the prize is in my head,
It will destroy me in my mind
Unless I do respond in kind.




So this is a mass choir number, it's a very pretty song that I sang a few years ago in high school. The lyrics are quite limited, but the song is about 4:30 as it's all over-lappy and slow and...well pretty :p. Here's a youtube link with the song as
I'm not sure many people would know it. These are just rough ideas for a parody :) Could work as a slow point in the show?
