As Heavy As Lead
Music: Walter Schleger
Lyrics: Walter Kuhn
Letters in pencil as heavy as lead
As young as old as living as dead
Each with bated breath came from the brain
As young as old as living as dead
Awaken to a slumber whose depth they dread
In silence and sweet, sweet pain
Letters in pencil as heavy as lead
As young as old as living as dead
The face of the Sphinx and the unmade bed
On the windows after rain
I want the super heroes to play dead
This will never come again
Letters in pencil as heavy as lead
As young as old as living as dead
I have a vision . . locked inside my head
Tomorrow’s tomorrow is birth again
We are still gliding deep into the red
Through the grief, through the pain
Letters in pencil as | heavy as lead
As young as old | as living as dead

Mad Song
Music: Karl Stepan
Lyrics: William Blake (1757-1827)
The wild winds weep,
And the night is a-cold;
Come hither, Sleep,
And my griefs unfold;
But lo! the morning peeps
Over the eastern steeps,
And the rustling birds of dawn
The earth do scorn.
Lo! to the vault
of paved heaven,
With sorrow fraught
my notes are driven;
They strike the ear of night,
make weep the eyes of day;
They make mad the roaring winds.
And with tempests play.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
the mind-forg’d manacles I hear.
Like a fiend in a cloud,
with | howling woe,
after night I do croud,
and with | night will go;
I turn my back to the east,
from whence comforts have increas'd;
For light doth seize my brain
With frantic pain.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
the mind-forg’d manacles I hear.
Like a fiend in a cloud,
with | howling woe,
after night I do croud,
and with | night will go;
I turn my back to the east,
from whence comforts have increas'd;
For light doth seize my brain
With frantic pain.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
the mind-forg’d manacles I hear.
