JERUSALEM BY WILLIAM BLAKE

JERUSALEM BY WILLIAM BLAKE


Caríssimos leitores! Trago-lhes desta vez o poema original "Jerusalem" composto pelo gravurista e poeta britânico William Blake! Trata-se de uma obra profética e espiritual sobre a queda de Albion, ou seja, a Grã-Bretanha. Tal poema foi composto entre 1804 e 1820. Albion é a representação do Homem Universal, que cai no sono mortal e dele desperta. Jerusalém é sua emanação, que é aprisionada até que com sua fé, possa libertar Albion através da redenção. Segue o poema original.


JERUSALEM

(WILLIAM BLAKE)

And did those feet in ancient times.
Walk upon England´s mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England´s pleasants pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England´s green & pleasant Land.

(Original Poem By William Blake)

BLACK SABBATH

(Sabbath Bloody Sabbath)

You see right through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don´t want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you´re on your own
Fill your head all full of lies
You bastards!

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there´s just no return
You´re wishing that the hands of doom
Would take your mind away
And you don´t care if you don´t see
Again the light of day

Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burns out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah!

Everything around you
What´s it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows
God bless all of you
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you, yeah!

(BLACK SABBATH)
