[ti:Lullaby] [ar:Loreena McKennitt] [al:Elemental] [offset:500] [00:28.70]Poem by William Blake (1757-1827) [00:33.70]Music by Loreena McKennitt [00:38.70] [00:43.70]Lululu... [02:09.35] [02:11.42]O for a voice like thunder, [02:15.77]and a tongue to drown the throat of war! [02:20.99]When the senses are shaken, [02:22.38]and the soul is driven to madness, [02:24.88]Who can stand? [02:28.24]When the souls of the oppressed [02:30.04]Fight in the troubled air that rages, [02:33.06]Who can stand? [02:35.16]When the whirlwind of fury comes from the throne of God [02:39.07]When the frowns of his countenance [02:40.48]Drive the nations together, [02:42.60]Who can stand? [02:44.47]When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle, [02:47.79]And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death; [02:50.92]When souls are torn to everlasting fire, [02:54.25]And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the slain, [02:58.33]O who can stand? [03:02.84]O who hath caused this? [03:06.24]O who can answer at the throne of God? [03:11.12]The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it! [03:14.32]Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it! [03:19.19] [04:04.21] [04:23.53]END
