Lyrics Power and Glory - The Situation - Lou Reed
I
was
visited
by
The
Power
and
The
Glory
I
was
visited
by
a
majestic
hymn
Great
bolts
of
lightning
lighting
up
the
sky
Electricity
flowing
through
my
veins
I
was
captured
by
a
larger
moment
I
was
seized
by
divinity′s
hot
breath
Gorged
like
a
lion
on
experience
Powerful
from
life
I
wanted
all
of
it
Not
just
some
of
it
All
of
it
I
saw
a
man
turn
into
a
bird
I
saw
a
bird
turn
into
a
tiger
I
saw
a
man
hang
from
a
cliff
by
the
tips
of
his
toes
In
the
jungles
of
the
Amazon
I
saw
a
man
put
a
red
hot
needle
through
his
eye
Turn
into
a
crow
and
fly
through
the
trees
Swallow
hot
coals
and
breathe
out
flames
And
I
wanted
this
to
happen
to
me
I
wanted
all
of
it
All
of
it,
all
of
it
Not
just
some
of
it
All
of
it
We
saw
the
moon
vanish
into
his
pocket
We
saw
the
stars
disappear
from
sight
We
saw
him
walk
across
water
into
the
sun
While
bathed
in
eternal
light
We
spewed
out
questions
waiting
for
answers
Creating
legends,
religions
and
myths
Books,
stories,
movies
and
plays
All
trying
to
explain
this
I
want
all
of
it
All
of
it,
all
of
it
Not
just
some
of
it
I
saw
a
great
man
turn
into
a
little
child
The
cancer
reduced
him
to
dust
His
voice
growing
weak
as
he
fought
for
his
life
With
a
bravery
few
men
know
I
saw
isotopes
introduced
into
his
lungs
Trying
to
stop
the
cancerous
spread
And
it
made
me
think
of
Leda
and
The
Swan
And
gold
being
made
from
lead
The
same
power
that
burned
Hiroshima
Causing
three
legged
babies
and
death
Shrunk
to
the
size
of
a
nickel
To
help
him
regain
his
breath
And
I
was
struck
by
The
Power
and
The
Glory
I
was
visited
by
a
majestic
Him
Great
bolts
of
lightning
lighting
up
the
sky
As
the
radiation
flowed
through
him
I
wanted
all
of
it
Not
just
some
of
it
All
of
it
All
of
it,
all
of
it,
all
of
it
