The Doors was one of the most representative psychedelic rock bands of all time. Their trademark is the dramatic, haunting sound, sustained by poetic lyrics.
Newborn Awakening - The Doors
Album: An American Prayer
genre: Rock
Gently they stir.
Gently rise.
The dead are new-born awakening.
With ravaged limbs
And wet souls.
Gently they sigh
In rapt funeral amazement.
Who called these dead to dance?
Was it the young woman
Learning to play the “Ghost Song”
In her baby grand
Was it the wilderness children?
Was it the Ghost-God himself,
Stuttering, cheering,
Chatting blindly?
I called you up to
Anoint the earth.
I called you to announce
Sadness falling like
Burned skin.
I called you to wish you well
To glory in self like a new monster
And now I call on you to pray.
