Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear! Oh, clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land!

Can’t find any racism. Maybe a bit of Luddite, or nascent Green...

Above is Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s version of it. Don’t watch the video though - it is just a mix of other live video in which the poster tried (poorly) to fit the music.
