Great God Pan Lyrics

I climbed up the mountain from that fine old West Virginia soil

And drank to the Pharisees: A lie alone is sold

Flung forth from the fountain, feathered serpent, bright in trembling coils

Cling to the candle in the cavern of your soul

I'm the Great God Pan

Gonna do what I want to

I'm telling you man

You better burn your eyes

Praise all that I am

Pile up peril upon you

Because there ain't nobody else here in the dark who knows

The light is fading,

We're just anticipating on your soul

And after all is said and done, you're just an actor, six foot one

And all this common earth will drag you down

I dreamt of a city on the cold North Ontario shore

With twelve golden pyramids and I alone its lord

I watched from the window while the fires of oblivion soared

And fell five foot forward when the wolf was at the door

I'm the Great God Pan

Gonna do what I want to

I'm telling you man

You better burn your eyes

Praise all that I am

Pile up peril upon you

Because there ain't nobody else here in the dark who knows

The light is fading,

We're just anticipating on your soul

And after all is said and done, you're just an actor, six foot one

And all this common earth will drag you down

Sisyphus? Can you handle this

All this talk of words and only yesterday you spurned me

Oh Eurydice? Are you into me

All this talk of maybe, c'mon c'mon c'mon save me from myself

I'm the Great God Pan

Gonna do what I want to

I'm telling you man

You best burn your eyes

Praise all that I am

Pile peril upon you

Because there ain't nobody else here in the dark who knows

The light is fading,

We're just anticipating on your soul

Whilst somewhere on the brightest star, Jesus plays a gold guitar

High above the ivory vibrant clouds
