Jim Morrison & The Doors - A Feast Of Friends

An American Prayer is a last studio album by The Doors. In 1978, seven years after lead singer Jim Morrison died and five years after the remaining members of the band broke up, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore reunited and recorded backing tracks over Morrison's poetry (originally recorded in 1969 and 1970). Other pieces of music and spoken word recorded by the Doors and Morrison were also used in the audio collage, such as dialogue from Morrison's film HWY and snippets from jam sessions. The album received mixed reviews and still divides critics, yet it has managed a platinum certification in the US.

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. They are considered a controversial and influential band, due mostly to Morrison's cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death on July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973. Despite a career that barely totaled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32.5 million albums in the US alone.

Wow, I´m sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain South
Cruel bindings
The servants have the power
Dog men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over our sailors
I´m sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the T.V. Tower
I want roses in my garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
Must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood meal
for the plant that´s plowed

They are waiting to take us into the severed garden
Do you know, how pale and wanton thrillful
Comes death in a strange hour
Unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring over-friendly guest you´ve brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings
Where we had shoulders, smooth as ravens claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until it´s other jaw reveals incest
And loose obidience to a vegetable law

I will not go
Prefer a feast of friends
To the giant family

Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings

Where we had shoulders, smooth as ravens claws... I got shivers

@luvapple1 So what does that make him then? If he rejects christianity, that makes him an atheist as far as I can tell. "You cannot petition the lord with prayer" a line from one of his songs. What does that make him? A Muslim? He doesn't take stock in western dogma, but there is scant evidence he believed in anything else. Unless you are secretly holding some obscure information about him being a buddhist or some bullshit.

@subsamadhi to be an atheist is not to believe in any spiritual power it is clear spirituality is present just not in a form condoned by many. like the gov. that destroyed the american indians

[luvapple1]

@subsamadhi you might be looking for an angry christian but you won't find it here but you do sound angry i am sorry for you...peace

[luvapple1]

@subsamadhi oh i see u can read minds so u know he is an athiest you believe rejection of christianity is atheism that just means he doesnt take stock in western dogma a dictionary might help
