Power And Glory Part II - Magic - Transformation - Lou Reed[00:00:00]
I was visited by The Power and The Glory[00:00:11]
I was visited by a majestic hymn[00:00:14]
Great bolts of lightning[00:00:16]
Lightning up the sky[00:00:18]
Electricity flowing through my veins[00:00:19]
I was captured by a larger moment[00:00:21]
I was seized by divinity's hot breath[00:00:24]
Gorged like a lion on experience[00:00:28]
Powerful from life[00:00:30]
I wanted all of it all of it all of it[00:00:33]
Not some of it all of it all of it [00:00:37]
Not some of it all of it [00:00:41]
I saw a man turn into a bird[00:00:46]
I saw a bird turn into a tiger[00:00:48]
I saw a man hang from a cliff by the tips of his toes[00:00:51]
In the jungles of the Amazon[00:00:54]
I saw a man put a red hot needle through his eye[00:00:56]
Turn into a crow and fly through the trees[00:00:59]
Swallows hot coals and breathe out flames[00:01:02]
And I wanted this to happen to me[00:01:05]
I wanted this to happen to me[00:01:07]
I wanted all of it all of it all of it[00:01:10]
Not some of it all of it all of it[00:01:14]
It's just some of it all of it[00:01:19]
Inside that's we saw the moon vanish into his pocket[00:01:22]
We saw the stars disappear from sight[00:01:25]
We saw him walk across water into the sun[00:01:28]
While bathed in eternal light[00:01:31]
We spewed out questions waiting for answers[00:01:34]
Creating legends religions and myths[00:01:37]
Books stories movies and plays[00:01:40]
All trying to explain this[00:01:42]
I wanted all of it all of it all of it[00:01:45]
Not some of it all of it all of it[00:01:49]
Not just some of it all of it[00:01:53]
I saw a great man turn into a little child[00:01:57]
The cancer reduced him to dust[00:02:01]
His voice growing weak as he fought for his life[00:02:03]
With a bravery strong man last[00:02:06]
I saw isotopes introduced into his lungs[00:02:08]
Trying to stop the cancerous spread[00:02:11]
And it made me think of Leda and The Swan[00:02:14]
And gold being made from lead[00:02:17]
The same power that burned Hiroshima[00:02:19]
Causing three legged babies and death[00:02:22]
Shrunk to the size of a nickel[00:02:26]
To help him regain his breath[00:02:28]
And I was struck by The Power and The Glory[00:02:31]
I was visited by a majestic Him[00:02:33]
Great bolts of lightning shooting up his veins[00:02:37]
As the radiation flowed through him[00:02:39]
He wanted all of it all of it all of it[00:02:42]
None just some of it[00:02:46]
All of it all of it[00:02:48]
None some of it but all of it[00:02:50]
