[00:25.990] Turning and turning
[00:30.230] Within the widening gyre
[00:34.740] The falcon cannot hear the falconer
[00:41.810] Things fall apart
[00:47.350] The center cannot hold
[00:51.260] And a blood dimmed tide
[00:54.760] Is loosed upon the world
[01:01.320] Nothing is sacred
[01:06.740] The ceremony sinks
[01:11.070] Innocence is drowned
[01:14.270] In anarchy
[01:17.890] The best lack conviction
[01:23.320] Given some time to think
[01:27.280] And the worst are full of passion
[01:29.970] Without mercy
[01:35.780]
[01:37.310] Surely some revelation is at hand
[01:42.680] Surely it's the second coming
[01:44.620] And the wrath has finally taken form
[01:48.220] For what is this rough beast
[01:51.000] Its hour come at last
[01:56.520] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[02:02.850] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[02:08.420]
[02:30.240] Hoping and hoping
[02:35.450] As if by my weak faith
[02:39.710] The spirit of this world
[02:42.460] Would heal and rise
[02:46.840] Vast are the shadows
[02:52.240] That straddle and strafe
[02:56.280] And struggle in the darkness
[02:59.630] Troubling my eyes
[03:03.730]
[03:06.240] Shaped like a lion
[03:11.680] It has the head of a man
[03:15.690] With a gaze as blank
[03:18.640] And pitiless as the sun
[03:22.720] And it's moving its slow thighs
[03:28.340] Across the desert sands
[03:32.350] Through dark indignant
[03:35.910] Reeling falcons
[03:39.950]
[03:42.270] Surely some revelation is at hand
[03:47.860] Surely it's the second coming
[03:51.620] And the wrath has finally taken form
[03:53.280] For what is this rough beast
[03:55.890] Its hour come at last
[04:01.550] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[04:07.100] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[04:12.390]
[04:35.370] Raging and raging
[04:40.640] It rises from the deep
[04:44.770] Opening its eyes
[04:47.810] After twenty centuries
[04:51.820] Vexed to a nightmare
[04:57.410] Out of a stony sleep
[05:01.050] By a rocking cradle
[05:03.840] By the Sea of Galilee
[05:11.190] Surely some revelation is at hand
[05:16.840] Surely it's the second coming
[05:18.710] And the wrath has finally taken form
[05:21.880] For what is this rough beast
[05:26.420] Its hour come at last
[05:30.480] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[05:38.040] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[05:52.980] To be born
[06:01.900] Shaped like a lion
[06:13.000] Shaped like a lion
[06:23.900] Shaped like a lion
[06:34.980]
