《Slouching Towards Bethlehem》歌词

[00:00:00] Slouching Towards Bethlehem - Redemption

[00:01:09] Turned and tossed in this widening flight

[00:01:15] And I can't find my bearings

[00:01:22] The voice that called me once is lost

[00:01:28] And the silence left is tearing at me

[00:01:42] Everything's starting to fall apart

[00:01:48] The center cannot hold

[00:01:55] The blood-dimmed tide is loosed upon us

[00:02:01] And innocence is drowning

[00:02:20] All around the best of men are lacking in conviction

[00:02:32] While the wicked and the worst

[00:02:36] Are full of passion and intent

[00:02:49] All we have is falling apart

[00:02:55] The center cannot hold

[00:03:02] The blood-dimmed tide has covered us

[00:03:07] And the innocent are drowning

[00:03:50] Surely there's some revelation coming close at hand

[00:03:58] A second coming

[00:03:59] I can barely mouth the words

[00:04:03] Before the images assault me

[00:04:10] Somewhere in the desert

[00:04:15] A monstrous affront turns its pitiless gaze to me

[00:04:27] To me

[00:05:37] Its blinding stare is like the sun

[00:05:42] I turn my eyes and fight to shake it

[00:05:45] But it's frozen in my mind

[00:05:58] The darkness drops again

[00:06:00] But now I know

[00:06:02] Twenty centuries of sleep

[00:06:05] Have been shaken to a nightmare

[00:06:43] What rough beast its hour come 'round at last

[00:06:53] Slouches towards Bethlehem

[00:06:57] Waiting to be born

[00:07:03] What rough beast its hour come 'round at last

[00:07:13] Slouches towards Bethlehem

[00:07:17] Waiting to be born

[00:07:35] All we have has fallen apart

[00:07:39] The center could not hold

[00:07:44] The blood-dimmed tide was loosed

[00:07:49] And the innocent the innocent have drowned
