Hentai CyberneticCupcake perfectly captures the kind of swagger and attitude I expect from a celebration of all that is Big Al. Probably the best character profile in the decade it celebrates. Favorite track: Neverending Rain (Reign).

I never want the rain to end... I never want my rain/reign to end! So you wondered where it came from, this torrential pour of rain... Well, I'll tell you now, it's not a fluke: it's the outcome of my reign! It all started way back when, you see, in a patch of desert mess, with a young boy always praying for his mother, so sickened and distressed. Oh, Lord, I can't explain! My mother dear, her end is near! She needs to be treated with extra good care, a veg'table garden with goodies to spare. So dry, it never pours! The tank is cracked, the hose is worn! I'd give my soul to make it rain; I'd give it all up so she could be saved! And the skies did open with a peal of fright'ning thunder, a God of Storms came and tore my world asunder! To acquire power over all precipitation, it calls for a small donation... Just a bit of your love and a bit of your soul makes this pitiful boy become beautifully whole! So I made my bond to the tempest with glee. I made my choice as my powers were freed! And so I'll see a world of plenty. I plant the seed and watch it growing. And so I'll feed on the fruits of my labor! A little water, some dirt and some time... That's what it takes to make a garden divine! I see it happen before my eyes and I would hope it lasts forever... I can certainly try! [Big Al and Tonio scatting] I had raised a garden full of food aplenty, but it had come to grief. No, my mother's lost forever in her slumber; no food could bring relief. I have no time left for mourning now, there is so much work to do! In my mother's memory, I fill the world aplenty to feed the hungry few. I had planned a course to create a fertile world: I will command the storms to plow and irrigate the deserts, turn everything into a garden horn-of-plenty so that everyone grows healthy. With a bit of my love from the last of my soul, I will bring the planet to a decent whole. With the world so frail, there can be no mistakes. I made my choice as I felt the Earth quake! And so I made my world of plenty, genetically manipulated! No more disease in the name of my mother! It's under my power to control. I know anything is possible. A little overwhelming to comprehend! I never want my rain/reign to end! Oh no! What can I do? The heat is rising in my stormy brew: a volatile mixture of pollution and greed. Contemptible climates, they cannot succeed! No, no! It's all gone wrong! A hurricane is coming—won't be long for everything I've made from rain to go unchained! My efforts in vain... Just a temporary setback, there is no cause for alarm. With the crops uprooted and houses wrecked, hope nobody's come to harm. It's a side-effect of my reign of rain, I'm often unable to control what I have unleashed upon this world; it's taken quite a toll! But there is one way. Hear my sensible proposal: my control of weather all at your disposal. Such mighty power beyond imagination, and all for a small donation... With a bit of our love and a bit of our soul, we can take the fractions, form a decent whole. So you'll join in my Neverending Rain/Reign?

I took the gun, and I pulled the trigger All the shattered glass, fragmented light in prisms All these fragments show a reflection Now In the mirroring glass, show some redemption Now we wait It's not my method to choose, I will still follow it through It's not a voice in my head, it's stuck here with me to the end I took the gun, I pulled the trigger I killed him Lock me up and hide, you don't want to see it Anymore Now I sit and try, to contain my anger I am not disturbed, I will not cry no longer It's not my method to choose, I will still follow it through It's not a voice in my head, it's stuck here with me to the end Sing a lullabye now, blood will pave my way through If I cannot survive, I will have to kill you Sing a lullabye now, blood will make its way to you If I cannot surmise, I will pave my way to you Sing a lullabye, Sing a lullabye When you say goodbye, I wish you goodnight It's not my method to choose, I will still follow it through It's not a voice in my head, it's stuck here with me to the end

How can you stand there, Knowing what you've done To the children of god? You're horrifying! Confessing your sins, Without a breath of penance, I sincerely wish, For God's wrath to rain down on you! When you wake I hope it's in hell, I sincerely hope you burn for eternity, Because god's children deserved love, right? They say to seek mercy and be found but Your sins won't wash away- you're a monster! Because god's children deserved love, yes? Seeking the Lord's mercy? But did you show them that? No, you just betrayed them- God's Shepherds do not do harm! Why do you stand there? Knowing all that you've done To the children of god? You're horrifying! Knowing hell exists, Yet you're choosing to go there! I will not sorrow, For God's wrath will rain down on you! When you wake I hope it's in hell, I sincerely hope you burn for eternity, Because god's children deserved love, right? They say to seek mercy and be found but Your sins won't wash away- you're a monster! Because god's children deserved love, yes? How can I stand here, Knowing what I've done, To the children of god? I'm horrifying! Knowing hell exists, And I've chosen to go there! "Stray not from the just path, Or God's wrath will rain down on you!" When I wake I hope it's in hell, I sincerely hope I burn for eternity, Because god's children deserved love, right? They say to seek mercy and be found but My sins can't wash away- I'm the monster! I know God's children deserved love...

Don't know how it's long it's been That the desert's been spreading From one horizon it's Crept to cover everything It doesn't matter much I'm always on the run What choice do I have when Cities have been left in ruin Been left scattered to the wind At my back it's been pushin' A dead city's secrets Buried and locked deep within Its sand choked streets I can feel them mocking me Trapped without lock or key: The risen fall of humanity Yeah, I'm running and I don't know why Just an outlaw against red sky Sirens calling 'fore it all went black Now I'm here in the aftermath Taken from the world I knew Just a desert to get through In the solitude I'm hoping that I never come to In this desert dry I'm holding on to my mind, I'm too afraid to die Cause I might just be the last man alive Yeah, I'm running and I don't know why Just an outlaw against red sky Sirens calling 'fore it all went black Don't know how it's long it's been But the desert's still spreading From one horizon it's Crept to cover everything It doesn't matter much I'm always on the run What choice do I have when Humanity praised its own ruin?

Cold wind blows in I'm wondering, when the pain stops blowing Rain on the glass Time moves past Where was I last evening? Thoughts, mind is lost Sun’s shining on someone else today Same as always, flooding up When will I have enough (Where was I last evening) Rain and storms roll by, the cold fills up my head Calling out a name, anyone hear me, can anyone hear my cry? Raining on the streets of my head at night Wondering why nothing seems right And the water’s flowing, my room’s flooding With all these words, my head hurts Don’t rain on my parade Is what they say, “my skies are grey” Don’t rain on my parade (It’s always raining) Is what they say, “my skies are grey” (In my head, that’s what they said) Head, filled up with thoughts Mind’s in knots Weather getting worse and My, heart it hurts Rain and hail Guess I’ll go and set sail In an ocean of my own feelings and grief They say I bring the rain to everyone’s street, To everyone’s street “It’s always raining when I see you, When I see you, In your thoughts, you talk a lot how the rain follows you The weather’s always bad when you’re around Lighting and thunder sounds They say, weather head, what happened to you” Raining, like it’s killing you Raining on the streets of my head at night Wondering why nothing seems right And the water’s flowing, my room’s flooding With all these words, my head hurts Don’t rain on my parade Is what they say, “my skies are grey” Don’t rain on my parade (It’s always raining) Is what they say, “my skies are grey” (In my head, that’s what they said)

A flash of blue light wakes me up in the dead of night I roll over as the flashes continue keeping me up I can’t get you out of my mind I don’t know what this feeling is Can you help me understand this? Are you up? Hello? And now I’m looking outside my window I think we’ve been talking too much Because I can see everything in a daylight hue … heh,heh, um oops And even though you still know How to describe these emotions in your heart If you need someone to talk about it Just let me know Sorry I missed your call

Walk into the sewers, down under the street Go on down the pipes and you might find something neat In a cute subterranean paradise It's Big Rat, and he's really nice It's Big Rat, and he's really nice He's the Big Rat, he's watching over you Fight the nightmares, defend the truth Though you may think he carries plague He really thinks the myth’s pretty vague BIG RAT SAID GAY RIGHTS His rat children gather to hear all his tales Of his rat adventures, of his whiskers and tails He'll always tuck them into their little beds It's Big Rat, he's one step ahead It's Big Rat, he's one step ahead He's the Big Rat, he's watching over you Fight the nightmares, defend the truth Though you may think he carries plague He really thinks the myth’s pretty vague GAY RIGHTS
