rapture (bioshock rap)

i am andrew ryan

and i'm here to ask you a question. is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

the man in moscow would spread it to the rest of the crowd

the man in washington would offer it to the lazy and the poor

he in the vatican would proffer as he prays to the lord

i rejected those philosophies as backward

they squandered men's prospects

economies were fractured

i shunned detractor's ideologies

shrugged off the atlas

adapted adam's eden for the man who manufactures

i chose what was impossible to capture

i chose. rapture

where artists can work free from controversial quarrels

and scientists can pioneer beyond the world of morals

and with the sweat of your brow

rapture can become your city as well

join me

andrew ryan

follow my dream

find me

finally

join me

would you kindly?

rapture. is coming back to life

her lungs fill with the will to survive

rapture. is coming back to life

finding truth between the lines in a book full of lies

rapture. is coming back to life

shops and schools humming with the thoughts of young minds

rapture. is coming back to life

my city will live

my city will thrive

being restricted by minor men was tiring to me

if no land was fit to witness the might of ryan industries

then i'd find a ship to fit my vision

try it in the deep

besides

you can build towers higher from the sea

with ayn rand guiding my hand

our divine plan

transcended flights of fancy or lines in the sand

deep

deep beneath the waves

under untold bars of pressure

a dark castle full of art deco architecture

part venture capitalist investor

part art director

hard objectivism's the correct decision

disregard the lecture

i'm part card shark

part card collector

part father figure

part protector

part corrector

part confessor

part professor

dot connector

lie detector

part tsar

projector of a spark

settler

tower erector

a man chooses

a slave obeys

so would you kindly? powerful phrase

rapture. is coming back to life

her lungs fill with the will to survive

rapture. is coming back to life

finding truth between the lines in a book full of lies

rapture. is coming back to life

shops and schools humming with the thoughts of young minds

rapture. is coming back to life

my city will live

my city will thrive

would you kindly. subscribe to this channel?

would you kindly. buy the mp3?

rapture. is coming back to life

her lungs fill with the will to survive

rapture. is coming back to life

finding truth between the lines in a book full of lies

rapture. is coming back to life

shops and schools humming with the thoughts of young minds

rapture. is coming back to life

my city will live

my city will thrive
