The Supermen Lyrics - Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie

When all the world was very young 

And mountain magic heavy hung 

The supermen would walk in file 

Guardians of a loveless isle 

And gloomy browed with superfear 

Their endless tragic lives 

Could heave nor sigh 

In solemn, perverse serenity 

Wondrous beings chained to life

Strange games they would play then 

No death for the perfect men 

Life rolls into one for them 

So softly a supergod cries 

Where all were minds in uni-thought 

Power weird by mystics taught 

No pain, no joy, no power too great 

Colossal strength to grasp a fate 

Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers 

Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold 

A man would tear his brother's flesh 

A chance to die 

To turn to mold 

Far out in the red-sky 

Far out from the sad eyes 

Strange, mad celebration 

So softly a supergod cries 

Photos 

Far out in the red-sky 

Far out from the sad eyes 

Strange, mad celebration 

So softly a supergod dies
