Lyrics for Power And Glory Part II by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Power And Glory Part II | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 85 | | | | Lyrics: | I was visited by The Power and The Glory
I was visited by a majestic hymn
Great bolts of
lightning
lightning up the sky
Electricity flowing through my veins
I was captured
by a larger moment
I was seized by divinity's hot breath
Gorged like a lion on
experience
Powerful from life
I wanted all of it -
Not some of it
I saw a man
turn into a bird
I saw a bird turn into a tiger
I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of
his toes
in the jungles of the Amazon
I saw a man put a red hot needle through his
eye
turn into a crow and fly through the trees
swallows hot coals and breathe out
flames
and I wanted this to happen to me ...
I wanted all of it -
Not some of
it
We saw the moon vanish into his pocket
We saw the stars disappear from sight
We
saw him walk across water into the sun
while bathed in eternal light
We spewed out questions
waiting for answers
creating legends, religions and myths
Books, stories, movies and
plays
all trying to explain this
I wanted all of it -
Not some of it
I saw a
great man turn into a little child
The cancer reduced him to dust
His voice growing weak as
he fought for his life
with a bravery few men know
I saw isotopes introduced into his
lungs
trying to stop the cancerous spread
And it made me think of Leda and The Swan
and
gold being made from lead
The same power that burned Hiroshima
causing three legged babies
and death
Shrunk to the size of a nickel
to help him regain his breath
And I was struck
by The Power and The Glory
I was visited by a majestic Him
Great bolts of lightning shooting
up his veins
as the radiation flowed through him
He wanted all of it
