Quicksand
by David Bowie
lyricscopy.com
I´m closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley´s uniform
Of imagery
I´m 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 torn between the light 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
[CHORUS]
Don´t believe in yourself
Don´t deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death´s release
I´m not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the 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
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I´m sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain´t got the power anymore
[CHORUS]
Immersed in Crowley´s uniform

No I ain´t got the power anymore
I´m the twisted name

I´m torn between the light and dark
