like a lantern Lyrics & Chords

we are drinking the wine of life, our mind is full of wine, our god is a cupbearer, our body is a cup, our soul is same wine, Yes this world is a tavern, forget , forget

***********************************************
We are no other than a moving row

Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go

Round with the Sun-illumined Lantern held

In Midnight by the Master of the Show;

Some for the Glories of This World; and some

Sigh for the Prophet’s Paradise to come;

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go,

The brave rumbles of a distant Drum!

The circle in which is that coming and going of ours

neither its beginning nor its ending has been discovered.

No one speaks on this issue rightly

Saying where this coming is from and where the going is to

YESTERDAY This Day’s Madness did prepare;

TO-MORROW’s Silence, Triumph, or Despair:

Drink! for you not know whence you came, nor why:

Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.

This Universal wheel, this merry-go-round

In our imagination we have found

The sun a flame,in the Cosmic lantern bound

We are mere ghosts, revolving, the flame surround

Man is a cup, his soul the wine therein,

Flesh is a pipe, spirit the voice within;

O sweet faced, O cup bearer, have you fathomed what man is?

A magic lantern with a light therein!
