Текст песни Quicksand - 2021 Mix – Early Version - David Bowie

I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
I am living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality

I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No, I ain't got the power anymore

I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
I'm drawing between the lights and dark
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry

Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud the death of man?
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah

I'm not a prophet or a Stone Age man
Just a mortal with potential of a Superman, I'm living on

I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith

If I don't explain what you ought to know
I tell you all about it on the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
