Joni Mitchell - Slouching Toward Bethlehem Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Based on a poem by w.b. yeats
  • Turning and turning
  • Within the widening gyre
  • The falcon cannot hear the falconer
  • Things fall apart
  • The center cannot hold
  • And a blood dimmed tide
  • Is loosed upon the world
  • Nothing is sacred
  • The ceremony sinks
  • Innocence is drowned
  • In anarchy
  • The best lack conviction
  • Given some time to think
  • And the worst are full of passion
  • Without mercy
  • Surely some revelation is at hand
  • Surely its the second coming
  • And the wrath has finally taken form
  • For what is this rough beast
  • Its hour come at last
  • Slouching towards bethlehem to be born
  • Slouching towards bethlehem to be born
  • Hoping and hoping
  • As if by my weak faith
  • The spirit of this world
  • Would heal and rise
  • Vast are the shadows
  • That straddle and strafe
  • And struggle in the darkness
  • Troubling my eyes
  • Shaped like a lion
  • It has the head of a man
  • With a gaze as blank
  • And pitiless as the sun
  • And its moving its slow thighs
  • Across the desert sands
  • Through dark indignant
  • Reeling falcons
  • Surely some revelation is at hand
  • Surely its the second coming
  • And the wrath has finally taken form
  • For what is this rough beast
  • Its hour come at last
  • Slouching towards bethlehem to be born
  • Slouching towards bethlehem to be born
  • Raging and raging
  • It rises from the deep
  • Opening its eyes
  • After twenty centuries
  • Vexed to a nightmare
  • Out of a stony sleep
  • By a rocking cradle
  • By the sea of galilee
  • Surely some revelation is at hand
  • Surely its the second coming
  • And the wrath has finally taken form
  • For what is this rough beast
  • Its hour come at last
  • Slouching towards bethlehem to be born
  • Slouching towards bethlehem to be born
