Tangerine Dream Miscellaneous London 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." -- |
