Lyrics:
Artist Tangerine Dream
song London
album Tyger
london (Poem Of William Blake [1757-1827])
i Wander Thro' Each Charter'd Street
near Where The Charter'd Thames Does Flow,
and Mark In Every Face I Meet
marks Of Weakness, Marks Of Woe.
in Every Cry Of Every Man,
in Every Infant's Cry Of Fear,
in Every Voice, In Every Ban,
the Mind-Forg'd Manacles I Hear
how The Chimney-Sweeper's Cry
every Black'ning Church Appalls,
and The Hapless Soldier's Sigh
runs In Blood Down Palace Walls;
but Most Thro' Midnight Streets I Hear
how The Youthful Harlot's Curse
blasts The New Born Infant's Tear,
and Blights With Plagues The Marriage Hearse.
(Excerpt From 'america')
rise And Look Out; His Chains Are Loose, His Dungeon Doors Are
Open;
and Let His Wife And Children Return From The Opressor's
Scourge.
they Look Behind At Every Step And Believe It Is A Dream,
singing 'the Sun Has Left His Blackness, And Has Found A Fresher
Morning,
and The Fair Moon Rejoices In The Clear And Cloudless Night;
for Empire Is No More, And Now The Lion And Wolf Shall
Cease.'
