lyrics

Tyger Tyger, burning bright;
In the forest of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame your fearful symmetry?

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

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

What the hammer? What the chain,
In what furnace was your 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?
Tyger Tyger, burning bright;
In the forest of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?

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

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

What the hammer? What the chain,
In what furnace was your 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?

Tyger Tyger, burning bright;
In the forest of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?
