(Bowie)
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name
on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of
Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud
the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
CHORUS
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death's release
I'm not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
CHORUS
The lyrics QUICKSAND of DAVID BOWIE is also present in the album Hunky dory (1971)
David Bowie (pronunciato ['bo?.wi] in inglese), pseudonimo di David Robert Jones (Brixton, 8 gennaio 1947 – New York, 10 gennaio 2016), è stato un cantante, polistrumentista, attore e compositore britannico. Attivo dalla metà degli anni sessanta fino alla sua morte nel 2016, Bowie ha attraversato cinque decenni nella musica rock, reinventando nel tempo il suo stile e la sua immagine attraverso personaggi iconici come Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack e The Thin White Duke (noto in Italia come il Duca Bianco). La sua musica spazia dal folk acustico all'elettronica, passando attraverso il glam rock, il soul e il krautrock, lasciando un'impronta indelebile sulla storia della musica. Bowie ha collaborato con artisti di diverse generazioni, tra cui Iggy Pop, Queen e Nile Rodgers. Oltre alla musica, Bowie si è cimentato anche nell'arte cinematografica, recitando in film come *L'uomo che cadde sulla Terra* (1976), *Furyo* (1983) e *Basquiat* (1996). Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo *The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars* (1972), *Station to Station* (1976) e *Heroes* (1977). Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono *Space Oddity*, *Changes*, *Let's Dance* e *Heroes*.
