The Power and the Glory is the sixth album by the British progressive rock group Gentle Giant, released in 1974. Contrary to popular belief, the title of the album and its many lyrical themes were not inspired by author Graham Greene's novel of the same name, although Derek Shulman was aware of Greene's novel. Guitarist Gary Green has cited this album as his favourite by the band.

Run, run, the shotgun has got you in its range Turn, turn away, when it's time to make a change Look where you're going, try not to lose your way What good is knowing you have to go away? Go, you may go, never know, never know Time's run away, so have to go, have to go Put back the ace black, you never made it good Go while you can go, go while the going's good

The Power and the Glory (.Artist: Gentle Giant. Type: official release. A concept album about power and corruption. Rumors that the album is actually about Watergate are reportedly untrue. Some CD releases have a bonus track, The Power And The Glory. Ray Shulman, in Trans-Oceanic Trouser Press (April/May 1976), tells the story: "WWA said, 'Now boys, you've got to be commercial, you've gotta make singles. Now you run away and write us a single.

The concept album focused on an individual who means to do good using political power. He finds himself tempted to abuse the power, as have all of those who have come before, and ultimately becomes what he fought against. The original LP cover was diecut, with rounded upper corners. Gentle Giant were an English progressive rock band active between 1970 and 1980. The band were known for the complexity and sophistication of its music and for the varied musical skills of its members. Genres: International Rock, Progressive Rock

The concept album focused on an individual who means to do good using political power.
