Genesis to Nemesis
Skirmish: Nemesis (@robinleaf)
Liner Notes
#nemesis #skirmish #economics #folkrock #acousticonetake Let me know if you know of a science fiction or fantasy series in which Genesis is the first book and Nemesis is the second.
Lyrics
[1] Onward and upward It’s such a big lie They’ll take what they see coming No matter how hard you try
This story has been written You might take a look Genesis to nemesis It’s just the next book
[2] Free competition Is a license to steal They’ll write down your ideas Before you make them real
They’ll open the restaurant While you’re still learning to cook Genesis to nemesis It’s just the next book
[3] Fly below the radar Move in silence Hide the bag if you’ve got one Protest innocence
It’s too much to get back Whatever they took Genesis to nemesis It’s just the next book

Brendan Reichs wrote a trilogy. Nemesis, Genesis, Chrysalis. So maybe there is another prompt for you.
The rhyme and rhythm is very good.
Not sure there are many places to hide if a person wants a phone. However as the song says, it’s just the next book.

They'll open the restaurant while you're still learning to cook, nice line! I like this one!

A series that I may have to read. Nice write. Nice flow to the song. Well done.

The pairing of genesis to nemesis is quite brilliant, they seem so natural together, and then to follow it with the payoff ‘it’s just the next book’ is inspired.

Duuuude! Killer lyrics!!! Genesis to nemesis: artist create, AI steals and then takes over the world. And yes, it has been prophesied, nice job!
