This is meant to be put to the Christmas carol “In the Bleak Midwinter” by Rossetti and Holst. Hopefully this can be occasionally sung like “For The Longest Term” is in EA spaces.
I tried to get Suno to sing this but can’t yet get the lyrics, tune, and style all correct; this is the best attempt. I also will probably continue editing the lyrics because parts seem a bit rough, but I just wanted to write this up before everyone forgets about Petrov Day.
In the bleak midwinter Petrov did forestall, Smoke would block our sunlight, Though it be mid-fall. New York in desolation, Moscow too, In the bleak midwinter We so nearly knew.
The console blinked a warning, Missiles on their way, But Petrov chose to question What the screens did say. Had he sounded the alarm, War would soon unfold, Cities turned to ashes; Ev’ry hearth gone cold.
Poison clouds loom o’er us, Ash would fill the air, Fields would yield no harvest, Famine everywhere. Scourge of radiation, Its sickness spreading wide, Children weeping, starving, With no place to hide.
But due to Petrov’s wisdom Spring will yet appear; Petrov defied orders, And reason conquered fear. So we sing his story, His deed we keep in mind; From the bleak midwinter He saved humankind.
(ritard.) From the bleak midwinter He saved humankind.
