The Conqueror Worm
Lyricist:Lou Reed
Lo! It's a gala night A mystic throng bedecked Sitting 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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Though 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'
