9 A Song Of Liberty[00:00:23]
1 The Eternal Female groan'd it was heard over all the Earth:[00:01:19]
2 Albion's coast is sick silent the American meadows faint[00:01:25]
3 Shadows of Prophecy shiver along by the lakes and the rivers and mutter across the ocean: France rend down thy dungeon[00:02:01]
4 Golden Spain burst the barriers of old Rome[00:02:10]
5 Cast thy keys O Rome into the deep down falling even to eternity down falling[00:02:12]
6 And weep[00:02:18]
7 In her trembling hands she took the new born terror howling[00:02:18]
8 On those infinite mountains of light now barr'd out by the atlantic sea the new born fire stood before the starry king[00:02:26]
9 Flag'd with grey brow'd snows and thunderous visages the jealous wings wav'd over the deep[00:02:41]
10 The speary hand burned aloft unbuckled was the shield forth went the hand of jealousy among the flaming hair and hurl'd the new born wonder thro' the starry night[00:02:54]
11 The fire the fire is falling[00:03:08]
13 The fiery limbs the flaming hair shot like the sinking sun into the western sea[00:03:12]
14 Wak'd from his eternal sleep the hoary element roaring fled away:[00:03:23]
15 Down rush'd beating his wings in vain the jealous king his grey brow'd councellors thunderous warriors curl'd veterans among helms and shields and chariots horses elephants: banners castles slings and rocks[00:03:30]
16 Falling rushing ruining buried in the ruins on Urthona's dens[00:03:56]
17 All night beneath the ruins then their sullen flames faded emerge round the gloomy King[00:04:08]
18 With thunder and fire: leading his starry hosts thro' the waste wilderness he promulgates his ten commands glancing his beamy eyelids over the deep in dark dismay[00:04:18]
19 Where the son of fire in his eastern cloud while the morning plumes her golden breast[00:04:31]
20 Spurning the clouds written with curses stamps the stony law to dust loosing the eternal horses from the dens of night crying:[00:04:43]
Empire is no more and now the lion &wolf shall cease[00:04:55]
Let the Priests of the Raven of dawn no longer in deadly black with hoarse note curse the sons of joy Nor his accepted brethren whom tyrant he calls free: lay the bound or build the roof Nor pale religious letchery call that virginity that wishes but acts not[00:04:57]
For every thing that lives is Holy[00:05:18]
