Hymn 243
[Whispers]
[Verse 1]
When Steven, full of power and grace, went forth throughout the land
He bore no shield before his face, no weapon in his hand
But only in his heart a flame and on his lips a sword
Wherewith he smote and overcame the foemen of the Lord
When Steven preached against the laws and by those laws was tried
He had no friend to plead his cause, no spokesman at his side
But only in his heart a flame, and in his еyes a light
Wherewith God's daybrеak to proclaim and rend the veils of night
[Bridge]
(Come on!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
[Verse 2]
When Steven, young and doomed to die, fell crushed beneath the stones
He had no curse no cry for vengeance those who broke his bones
But only in his heart a flame and on his lips a prayer!
That God in sweet forgiveness’s name should understand and spare (Everybody!)
Let me, O Lord, thy cause defend, a knight without a sword
No shield I ask, no faithful friend, no vengeance, no reward
But only in my heart a flame and in my soul a dream
So that the stones of earthly shame a jeweled crown may seem
[Spoken: Hip New Youth Pastor]
Aight, so go ahead and please be seated. This is the story of S*nny
S*nny was born right in the middle of the month, either the 15th or the 16th, I- I honestly don't remember uh... S*nny was the- was the runt of the latter, in a family of five. Funny enough, I believe a couple of the siblings actually might have shared the same birthday as S*nny, yo imagine that. This family was quite an interesting one. Many saw S*nny's parents as -uh- perhaps, unfit to raise children due to their, uh, shall we say, non-Christian values. They- they moved a lot, they moved around quite a lot as well: first, uh, first was out of the country where they narrowly escaped a Proxy War, and then it was somewhere up North, where winters to dragged on for what seemed like months. Through and through though, this family seemed to have a strong, uh, proclivity, you could say, to the desert. There was something about it that must have beckoned them

[Verse 1]
S*dney, I’mma make you mine
I get you have a lot of other boys standing in line
You don't wanna fall in love (You don't wanna fall in)
I still wanna be the only one that's on your mind
Bundled up, HK sweats (Ey, ey!)
Snowy day, fuck the threat of it all
Spread paint stencils by the fire pit
Should we kiss just for the fuck of it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you think something is stopping you?
You could just hide behind your options, ooh
(Best friend ever!)
[Chorus]
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?
[Verse 2]
I hope you know what I'm helping you be (Be)
You want something and I'll tell you it's me (Heh!)
And you said you wanted answers so it's looking through trees (Because)
I like you even better when we drop LSD (Mm-hm)
I know that I want you so bad
You can’t stand the thought of asking me (Nuh-uh)
So S*dney, what’s the answer gonna be? (Y-yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you think something is stopping you?
(You don't do shit, you never do anything with your fucking life)
You just hide behind your options, ooh
(We don’t give a fu-)
[Chorus]
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us? (Ahem)
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?
[Bridge]
Well, fuck what you want
I'm dead set on it never ever being enough
And now we're stuck on a bus
Are these ciggies really even gonna fuck up our lungs?
Fuck what you want
You're dead wrong about never ever falling in love
I hate how you talk
S*dney, I just want you to get it
Why can’t- (Luca!)
[Chorus]
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?
Is this what you want from us?
Is this really what you want from us?

Years passed, and good ol' S*nny had found a passion for singing. In fact, S*nny was so passionate about singing, that S*nny dropped out of high school to pursue it. Something which I urge you all strongly not to do, okay. And the Lord worked vicariously through S*nny. Years and years of practice, hard work, and some incredible risks, and now, S*nny has become the S*nny we all know and love today, world tours, millions of adoring fans, not to mention a whole lot of money
[Cover of MARINA's, Oh No!]
[Verse 1]
Don't do love, don't do friends
I'm only after success
Don't need a relationship
I'll never soften my grip
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want cash, don't want card
Want it fast, want it hard
Don't need money, don't need fame
I just want to make a change
I just wanna change, I just wanna change
I just wanna change, I just wanna change
I just wanna... change
[Chorus]
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh! (Oh!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no, oh!
[Verse 2]
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
'Cause I feel like I'm the worst
But I always act like I'm the best
[Pre-Chorus]
If you are not very careful
Your possessions will possess you
TV taught me how to feel
Now real life has no appeal
It has no appeal, it has no appeal
It has no appeal, it has no appeal
It has no appeal
[Chorus]
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh! (Oh!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no, oh!
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh! (Oh!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no, oh!
[Bridge]
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die!
I'm going to find my [heart?] (die)!
My [heart?], My [heart?] (I'm gonna die!)
I'm going to find my [heart?] (Yeah!)
(Best friend ever)
[Chorus]
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh! (Oh!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no, oh!
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh! (Oh!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no, oh!
(Yeah, wooh!)
[Outro]
Oh! (Oh!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no! (Oh, no!) Oh, no, oh!

And night after night, S*nny would take the stage. But then, went the fireworks
And suddenly, S*nny found it hard to breathe. Now, if you recall S*nny was but an infant when the family had side-stepped a global skirmish; the sounds of gunfire had seemed to had left a profound impact on the musician, and loud noises, particularly unexpected ones, had become extremely trying on poor S*nny. And with all the loud speakers, the microphones and generally boisterous life of a wealthy musician, well hey, it might as well have been inescapable
[Remix of Sex Bob-Omb's, Threshold]
[Intro]
This is the beginning of the song
[Verse]
I'm hearing voices, animal noises
The crème de la crème, the feminine abyss
Yeah, I'm reaching my threshold
Staring at the truth 'till I'm blind
My body's stupid, stereo putrid
Spilling out music into raw sewage
Reaching my threshold
Staring at the truth 'till I'm blind
[Chorus]
My threshold
My threshold
Reaching my threshold
[Verse]
I'm hearing voices, animal noises
The crème de la crème, the feminine abyss
And I'm reaching my threshold
Staring at the truth 'till I'm blind
[Bridge]
Ugh, fuck!
Ugh!
[Chorus]
Reaching my threshold
(My threshold)
My threshold
(My threshold)
My threshold
(Reaching my threshold)
My threshold
[Bridge]
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip (We are)
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip (We are)
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip
Gossip, gossip (We are)
Gossip, gossip
[Chorus]
Reaching my threshold
(My threshold)
My threshold
(My threshold)
My threshold
(Reaching my threshold)

But S*nny soldiered on, dancing and singing in front of hundreds of thousands of people almost every night. Most of them were kids, like you all, bright-eyed and desperately trying to find your true selves. And, and for just a few hours, man, these kids would watch S*nny perform and decide that, that's who they wanted to be when they grew up. They could take refuge and find solace in who S*nny was. The glitz of superstar life might be too great a distraction sometimes for a superstar to truly internalize the impact they have on others, y'know but I like to think that whenever those fireworks went off, S*nny looked at the crowd, and the crowd looked back at S*nny, and they felt understood

I wanna dance right now
We can show 'em how the girls get down
(I wanna be you)
I wanna dance right now
We can show 'em how the girls get down

I wanna dance right now
We can show 'em how the girls get down

[Verse 1: Instupendo]
You make my obsessions manic
Trap me in a million trances
Twist me out of yarn and fabric
My favorite kind of magic
This feels so wrong
Walk all over bits of plastic
But I never notice 'cause you're watching me
All my friends think that you're vapid
I think so too
[Pre-Chorus: underscores]
Nobody knows you, but I'd be embarrassed if they did
'Cause I've idolized you, ever since I was a kid
[Chorus: Instupendo, saorise dreams]
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna dress like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna act like you do)
[Verse 2: Instupendo]
You know I'm just a small town girl
How could I compete?
How could I?
How could I?
I left home for an evil world
I love it, it's scary
You dangle the cross around your neck
And I'm devoted
I'll do it
[Pre-Chorus: underscores]
Nobody knows you, but I'd be embarrassed if they did
'Cause I've had my mind set, ever since I was a kid
[Chorus: Instupendo, saorise dreams]
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna dress like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna act like you do)
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna dress like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna act like you do)
[Bridge: Jane Remover]
I'm in love with an airhead that popped my balloon
I can't see the floor, it's too bright in this room
It gets so hard to speak, a commodity
You're picking your berries, revenge is so sweet
(Best friend ever)
[Chorus: saorise dreams]
I wanna be just like you
I wanna be just like you
I wanna dress like you
I wanna act like you do
[Post-Chorus: Jane Remover]
I wish that I was in your clothes
I wish that I was in your clothes
I wish that I was in your clothes
I wish that I was in your clothes
[Outro: Instupendo, saorise dreams]
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna be just like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna dress like you)
I wanna be you (I wanna act like you do)

At some point, S*nny returned to the desert and overlooked the water. And suddenly, the desert that S*nny once loved, it- it was no longer what it used to be. Darkness seemed to have consumed what was once considered a sanctuary. In Genesis, God said, "Let there be light--" yada, yada, yada, yada, c'mon you guys, you guys, you've heard it all before, you know what He says. "On the 3rd day, God set the sun in the sky to set light unto the Earth. To separate, the light from the dark, and God saw that it was good."
