Minwen & Ivan Chew - Tyger Tyger (2019 Redux)

from 2019 In The Forest of the Night by Ivan Chew & Friends

/

about

This song remixes/ adapts William Blake's wondrous 230 year-old poem. We thought Blake's words conjured up mystery and ethereal magic, so we tried to capture that mood into this song.

This is the first of a several tracks planned for release in 2019. Enjoy!

lyrics

In what distant deeps or skies,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of its heart?
And when its heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

[Chorus]
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame your fearful symmetry?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was its brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
