Lyrics inspired by a segment of Mayakovski's work "A cloud in trousers".

[Verse 1]
Your thought —
Sodden, heavy, dragging through the brain,
A bloated lackey on a greasy couch.
With my heart in bloody tatters
I’ll mock it once again —
Ruthless, relentless,
Till contempt burns out.

[Chorus]
There is no soft old kindness in me,
No gray hairs in my soul.
I shake the world with my voice,
Laughing as I pass you by —
Sharp-eyed, defiant,
Twenty-two-years-old.

[Verse 2]
Gentle souls —
You play your love on violins.
The rough ones beat it out on drums.
But can you turn yourselves inside out like I can,
Become nothing but two trembling lips
Burning in the dark?

[Chorus]
There is no soft old kindness in me,
No gray hairs in my soul.
I shake the world with my voice,
Laughing as I pass you by —
Sharp-eyed, defiant,
Twenty-two-years-old.

[Bridge]
Come and learn —
You angelic bureaucrats,
Step out of your cambric rooms.
You who leaf your lips
Like cooks turning pages
In their recipe books.

[Verse 3]
If you wish —
I’ll rage on raw meat like a vandal,
Or shift into sunrise colors.
If you wish —
I’ll grow gentle, irreproachable,
Not a man —
But a cloud in trousers.

[Outro]
Between fury and tenderness
I rise, dissolve, return —
A storm fading into vapor,
A vow thinning into air,
Not a man,
But a cloud in trousers.

A cloud in trousers

While listening to this song in prayer, this idea came to me. It didn't sound exactly like this, but while fiddling with a few things--- this came to be. I know that this song didn't need this, it was perfectly fine, but as I listened to it more and more, I couldn't stop bobbing my head to what is now here. Creativity is a beautiful thing God has given us, and my prayer is that in the listening of this Hymn that you will experience him, and that this song may be used of him mightily! 

Thanks for listening. I'm unable to put this up for download because I don't own the rights to the orignal song.

All I added: Some bass, Drums, Vox's, and Strings with a few misc. things in there as well.
