The Supermen Lyrics - David Bowie

1 When all the world was very young

2 And mountain magic heavy hung

3 The supermen would walk in file

4 Guardians of a loveless isle

5 And gloomy browed with superfear

6 Their endless tragic lives

7 Could heave nor sigh

8 In solemn, perverse serenity

9 Wondrous beings chained to life

10 Strange games they would play then

11 No death for the perfect men

12 Life rolls into one for them

13 So softly a supergod cries

14 Where all were minds in uni-thought

15 Power weird by mystics taught

16 No pain, no joy, no power too great

17 Colossal strength to grasp a fate

18 Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers

19 Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold

20 A man would tear his brother's flesh

21 A chance to die

22 To turn to mold

23 Far out in the red-sky

24 Far out from the sad eyes

25 Strange, mad celebration

26 So softly a supergod cries

27 Far out in the red-sky

28 Far out from the sad eyes

29 Strange, mad celebration

30 So softly a supergod dies
