Gott sein
To be God

Lyrics ©1997 Megaherz Gott der du bist im Himmel Ich weiß was dich quält Gott der du bist im Himmel Ich weiß was dir fehlt Gott der du bist im Himmel Lass uns nicht allein Vergib uns unsere Schuld Versuch uns zu verzeih'n Gott der du bist im Himmel Dein eigen Fleisch und Blut hast du für uns gegeben doch wöfur war das gut Dein Reich kommt nicht und dein Wille geschieht nicht Nicht im Himmel und auf Erden sowieso nicht Nein Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein Sing Hallelujah sing Gott der du bist im Himmel Ich weiß es ist nicht leicht Gott der du bist im Himmel Ich weiß das es gereicht Gott der du bist im Himmel Ich weiß was dich bewegt Versuch uns zu vergeben Oder ist es schon zu spät Amen

Translation ©2003 Jeremy Williams God, you who are in Heaven I know what torments you God, you who are in Heaven I know what the matter is God, you who are in Heaven Do not leave us alone Forgive our guilt Attempt to pardon us God, you who are in Heaven You have given us your own flesh and blood but what was that good for Your kingdom does not come and your will is not done Not in Heaven and not on Earth anyway No It is not easy to be a god Sing Hallelujah sing God, you who are in Heaven I know it is not easy God, you who are in Heaven I know that it has an effect God, you who are in Heaven I know what moves you Attempt to forgive us Or is it too late already Amen

Title: God's Benevolence
Rating: PG
Pairing: Ener and his Deranged Ego (kinda sounds like a circus act…)
Prompt: Lyrics
Word Count: 229



He could feel them below; hear them as they scurried around their pointless lives- wasting time and wasting away.

He could hear them all the time, now, with their pleas and entreaties. It was taxing, this constant vocal supplication; but somewhere, some part of him pitied them. They were unhappy, and when he thought of it, how could they not be?

They didn’t belong here; Heaven was no place for mortals, they belonged on solid earth, not in the skies intended to be home only to birds and the gods. There was no one above him, so it would be his job to set it right, this oversight of history and evolution; he would set it right, and then move on- for what place was this to a god when mortals had so easily encumbered its sacred shores? He would have to find someplace suitable, some place no one else could ever reach; for that would be the true home of a god.

For now he would plan, and build- let them have their precious days and their pointless frets; salvation was at hand, ticking steadily forward, then he would return them, send them back where they belonged, far below, with others of their kind; they were only flesh after all - unsuited to live in the realm of a god.

It was the greatest kindness he could give.

Well, got the word count- now I've gotta work on that whole pairing, thing. I've got two more ideas that hit me upside the head today- now lets see if I can finish them... (for now; sleep)

Oh ho! Nice job at Ener!logic. And a good explanation for his reasons for wanting to drop the land from Skypiea.
