Blake's View Lyrics

Lyric discussion by dinkerton 

Cover art for Blake's View lyrics by M. Ward

This is a song that borrows heavily from the poet William Blake. Blake was a visionary poet of the 18th century, and considered one of the best literary minds to ever come out of Britain. This song is talking about Blake's basic philosophy/theology. That this life is temporary, and simply preparation for the next. Life is a cycle, like the song says. If we are a part of this life, then we are subject to this cycle. Like Blake and Ward believe, we'll always be apart of this eternity.
