Текст песни Patti Smith - My Blakean Year (Trampin 2004)
My Blakean Year LyricsIn my Blakean year
I was so disposed
Toward a mission yet unclear
Advancing pole by pole
Fortune breathed into my ear
Mouthed a simple ode
One road is paved in gold
One road is just a road
In my Blakean year
Such a woeful schism
The pain of our existence
Was not as I envisioned
Boots that trudged from track to track
Worn down to the sole
One road is paved in gold
One road is just a road
Boots that tramped from track to track
Worn down to the sole
One road was paved in gold
One road was just a road
In my Blakean year
Temptation but a hiss
Just a shallow spear
Robed in cowardice
Brace yourself
For bitter flack
For a life sublime
A labyrinth of riches
Never shall unwind
The threads that bind
The pilgrim's sack
Are stitched
Into the Blakean back
So throw off your stupid cloak
Embrace all that you fear
For joy shall conquer all despair
In my Blakean year
So throw off your stupid cloak
Embrace all that you fear
For joy shall conquer all despair
In my Blakean year
Mercy hath a human heart
Pity a human face
Love a human form divine
And Peace a human dress
To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
Oh pray in their distress
But Mercy shall embrace
Mercy shall embrace
Mercy
It is the Mercy
It is the Mercy
Mercy shall embrace
Mercy shall embrace
Mercy shall embrace
It is the Mercy
The Mercy
