Lou Reed - The Conqueror Worm Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • [Young Poe:]
  • Lo! 't is a gala night
  • A mystic throng bedecked
  • Sit in a theater to see
  • A play of hopes and fears
  • While the orchestra breathes fitfully
  • The music of the spheres
  • Mimes, mutter and mumble low
  • Mere puppets they, who come and go
  • Disguised as gods
  • They shift the scenery to and fro
  • Inevitably trapped by invisible Wo
  • This motley drama
  • to be sure
  • Will not be forgotten
  • A phantom chased for evermore
  • Never seized by the crowd
  • Through they circle
  • Returning to the same spot
  • Circle and return to the selfsame spot
  • Always to the selfsame spot
  • With much of madness and more of sin
  • And horror and mimic rout
  • The soul of the plot
  • Out
  • out are the lights
  • out all
  • And over each dying form
  • The curtain a funeral pall
  • Comes with the rush of a storm
  • The angels haggard and wan
  • Unveiling and uprising affirm
  • That the play is the tragedy "Man"
  • And its hero the Conqueror Worm
