What will he say when he sees our
Free world within a plague designed:
What Tyger lurks behind the veil,
This shadow cast across mankind!

 

What can truth do on a blind Earth,
Eyes bound by creeds that kill our dreams?
What hope have we in Babylon,
While my soul is ripped at the seams?

​

Tear out my peace, my calm, my sage:
Tear out my bliss, my joy, my art:
Tear out my love: release my rage!
Tear out my will and break my heart!

​

I am consumed by this world's curse,
But poisons unlock a new sight:
We built this Babylon to fall,
Our cries heard only by the night.
