O Little Town Of Babylon (5) |
|
| Well, it was nearing Christmas time, and I was looking
through a book of Christmas Songs for ideas on something to do for the
holiday mailings. I came across 'O Little Town of Bethlehem' and
something sparked. This was written in the middle of the second
season when the story showed 'the good guys' getting ready to battle the
Shadows. For the holiday mailing, I took the original sheet music,
and replaced the words with mine. I referenced the next three years
to come as Babylon 5 was intended to be a five year series. And no, I couldn't let it go
without putting in the signature line at the and.

O Little Town Of Babylon (5)
By
Brian and Shirley Dean
O little town of Babylon, lying
out in deep space. Between
the Shadows and the light what
battles will you face? The
wars that are raging, from
within and from without. To
keep the peace throughout the stars , 'gainst
shadows you'll win out. O little town of Babylon, your
number is now five. Stations
one through four were all lost, How
can you keep alive? The
Narn / Centauri conflict is
over for a while, But
war with Shadows will rage on, It
will be your longest mile. O little town of Babylon, the
stage is set for war. Your
enemies are all lining up, the
Shadows and Psi-Corp. Yet
in your darkened insides, there
is a spark of light, The
hopes and fears of the next three years lay
"all alone in the night". |
