Tiger! Tiger! Lyrics


The spheres in motion wrapped around collapsing stars

 Immortal hands and eyes are framed in fearful scars

 The mystery of living, breathing, dying hard

 My name and occupation tattooed on my face

 The stars my destiny, deep space my dwelling place

 Delirious and rotting, where's my saving grace

 The stars burn bright

 In the forest of night

 But what mortal hands and eyes will I see there?

 I'm locked behind bars

 On the gateway to Mars

 But when all the stars expire will I still be here?

 I'll set the villages and colonies aflame

 The bards of history had best forget my name

 Deliriously plotting, Nomad is my fame
