This is the opening song to the musical adaptation of the sinking of the Titanic. In this song the ship’s architect boasts of the great feat he’s accomplished by building the best ship to ever sail.
[THOMAS ANDREWS]
In ev'ry age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...
On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy
Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, the Parthenon, the Duomo...
The Aqueducts of Rome
We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor Gothic walls that radiate with light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create...
A floating city!
Floating city!
A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...
In Every Age was written by Maury Yeston.
