Endless Winter. Dedicated to Nicole Toroosian. The Nike Story™ is The untold mythical story of the Goddess Nike. Alis volat propriis. 'Godification' has two versions: the first a commentary on the contemporary view on religion; and the second is how the ancient gods, Zeus in this instance, would view the contemporary view on religion. Both songs end with the appearance of an almighty god, who destroys both views: one for being ignorant and the other for being arrogant. The music to this song is a special arrangement of the traditional song 'If you're happy and you know it clap your hands'. This music was chosen because it is a call to a seemingly pointless action and also because it is a tune that is universally known. The first version is sung by a trio of men. They begin by insulting one anothers (and thereby their own but they are unaware) religious beliefs, and then go forth to convert others to mirror their own egotistical likeness. Godification, the valuing of oneself over all else. Ignorance. The second version is sung by Zeus. Zeus may well have seen the leadership (religious, political and otherwise) as pathetic, particularly in comparision to his own leadership. He mocks men by asking them if they want to be gods. Godification, the creating of oneself in ones own image. Arrogance. God, without definition and by definition, shows greater power then both..
