I've seen the fall of an ancient world I've seen their crimes And their consternation I've seen their hopes But they'll fight for the coming of the fall I've seen the brand of a brand new world I've seen their smiles It's been long long forgotten
And the faces, red, deformed like grimaces The rise I've found the fall nothing at all I've been surprice by the sublime recitation Of a poem signed by Mr. Blake Why do I cry? Why don't you cry? I've seen the fall nothing at all
