1
Turning and turning
2
Within the widening gyre
3
The falcon cannot hear the falconer
4
Things fall apart
5
The center cannot hold
6
And a blood dimmed tide
7
Is loosed upon the world
8
Nothing is sacred
9
The ceremony sinks
10
Innocence is drowned
11
In anarchy
12
The best lack conviction
13
Given some time to think
14
And the worst are full of passion
15
Without mercy
16
Surely some revelation is at hand
17
Surely it's the second coming
18
And the wrath has finally taken form
19
For what is this rough beast
20
Its hour come at last
21
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
22
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
23
Hoping and hoping
24
As if by my weak faith
25
The spirit of this world
26
Would heal and rise
27
Vast are the shadows
28
That straddle and strafe
29
And struggle in the darkness
30
Troubling my eyes
31
Shaped like a lion
32
It has the head of a man
33
With a gaze as blank
34
And pitiless as the sun
35
And it's moving its slow thighs
36
Across the desert sands
37
Through dark indignant
38
Reeling falcons
39
Surely some revelation is at hand
40
Surely it's the second coming
41
And the wrath has finally taken form
42
For what is this rough beast
43
Its hour come at last
44
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
45
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
46
Raging and raging
47
It rises from the deep
48
Opening its eyes
49
After twenty centuries
50
Vexed to a nightmare
51
Out of a stony sleep
52
By a rocking cradle
53
By the Sea of Galilee
54
Surely some revelation is at hand
55
Surely it's the second coming
56
And the wrath has finally taken form
57
For what is this rough beast
58
Its hour come at last
59
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
60
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
