London Lyrics - Singles - Tangerine Dream

Song: London 

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."
