《The Spectre》歌词

[00:00:00] The Spectre - Golden Bough

[00:00:00] Written by：Paul Espinoza

[00:00:00] I walked out on a cold cold morn

[00:00:02] A morning like no other

[00:00:04] The air was thick with the early mist

[00:00:06] The fog lay on the ground

[00:00:08] I stepped beneath an oaken tree

[00:00:10] And gazed across the clover

[00:00:12] The still of the air was broken there

[00:00:14] And I heard a mournful sound

[00:00:16] I wish that I had never seen the sight

[00:00:19] That came before me

[00:00:21] It made the chill seem greater still

[00:00:23] When I knew what I had found

[00:00:25] Dressed in black with his hood pulled low

[00:00:27] In the image of a spectre

[00:00:29] Through the misty haze he held my gaze

[00:00:32] I looked into his eyes

[00:00:34] His were the eyes of famine and suffering

[00:00:38] The pain of sorrow was there magnified

[00:00:43] I felt the depth of hopelessness and apathy

[00:00:46] And I cried

[00:00:55] Come drink the cup of man's despair

[00:00:57] The rising of his passion

[00:00:59] I'11 show to you a life anew

[00:01:01] Where riches will abound

[00:01:04] Just take my hand

[00:01:05] And I'11 lead you on the path of dear deception

[00:01:08] Their poverty your infamy

[00:01:10] As you lay them to the ground

[00:01:12] Know you me within your heart

[00:01:14] The greed and the corruption

[00:01:16] That lingers there till unaware

[00:01:19] You forfeit sight and sound

[00:01:21] For I am only the creation of your own invention

[00:01:25] I do your will but I hunger still far I know no bounds

[00:01:30] His were the eyes of famine and suffering

[00:01:34] The pain of sorrow was there magnified

[00:01:38] I felt the depth of hopelessness and apathy

[00:01:42] And I cried

[00:01:47] Lightning struck the oaken tree

[00:01:48] And it ripped the trunk asunder

[00:01:51] From overhead

[00:01:52] I heard the dread wail of the midnight hound

[00:01:55] In a fiery light as bright as day

[00:01:57] I saw her grip the thunder

[00:01:59] She regarded me with sympathy and sang the sweetest sound

[00:02:11] Her eyes alighted on the image of the hooded spectre

[00:02:15] Who rose on high with a chilling cry

[00:02:18] That cracked the frozen ground

[00:02:20] More horrid sound I never heard

[00:02:22] Poured forth upon the winter

[00:02:24] But stopped as sudden when confronted by her fearless song

[00:02:29] Hers were the eyes of courage and compassion

[00:02:33] The hope of life was there magnified

[00:02:37] I felt the wrath of innocence deceived

[00:02:41] And I cried

[00:02:48] As her song swept over me and filled me with its passion

[00:02:52] The spectre slipped into the mist

[00:02:54] Nowhere to be found

[00:02:56] You need not listen to his lies

[00:02:58] His promise of perfection

[00:03:00] It is the child of his own guile and he'll lay you to the ground

[00:03:05] He is the slave of ignorance and knows not light or wonder

[00:03:09] Give him not a single thought

[00:03:11] Which only bids him dwell

[00:03:13] Yours is the charge to drive him forth

[00:03:15] And cease his spiritual plunder

[00:03:17] Where none will dare to seek him there never to be found

[00:03:22] Hers were the eyes of courage and compassion

[00:03:27] The hope of life was there magnified

[00:03:31] I felt the wrath of innocence deceived

[00:03:34] And I cried
