Power And Glory, Pt2 Lyrics - Magic And Loss - Lou Reed

I was visited by the power and the glory 

I was visited by a majestic hymn 

Great bolts of lightning lighting 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, all of it, all of it) 

All of it 

(Not just some of it, all of it, all of it) 

All 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 

Swallow hot coals and breathe out flames 

and I wanted this to happen to me 

 

(I wanted all of it, all of it, all of it) 

All of it 

(All of it, all of it, 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 

 

Photos 

 

(I wanted all of it, oh, all of it) 

All of it 

(All of it, oh, all of it) 

Not some of it 

 

I saw a great man turn into a little child 

the cancer reduce him to dust 

His voice growing weak as he fought for his life 

with a bravery few men know 

 

I saw isotopesduced 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 lighting up the sky 

as the radiation flowed through him 

 

(I wanted all of it, not just some of it, all of it) 

He wanted all of it 

(All of it, all of it, all of it) 

He wanted all of it, not some of it
