The Supermen - David Bowie
When all the world was very young
And mountain magic heavy hung
The supermen would walk in file
Guardians of a loveless isle
And gloomy browed
with superfear their endless tragic
lives Could heave nor sigh
In solemn, perverse serenity,
wondrous beings chained to life
Strange games they would play then
No death for the perfect men
Life rolls into one for them
So softly a super God cries
Where all were minds in unithought
Powers weird by mystics taught
No pain, no joy
no power too great
Colossal strength to grasp a fate
Where sad eyed
merment tossed in slumbers
Nightmare dreams no
mortal mind could hold
A man would tear his brother's flesh
a chance to die
To turn to mold
Far out in the red sky
Far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration
So softly a super god cries
Far out in the red sky
Far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration
So softly a super god dies
