《She Was the Universe》歌词

[00:00:00] She Was The Universe - The Ocean

[00:00:11] I had a dream which was not all a dream:

[00:00:16] The sun was extinguished

[00:00:19] And the stars wandered dark-ling in space

[00:00:23] Ray-less and pathless

[00:00:25] And the icy Earth swung blind and blackened in the moonless air

[00:00:33] And men forgot their passions in the dread of this their desolation

[00:00:40] And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light:

[00:00:45] They did live by watchfires

[00:00:47] And the throats of crowned kings

[00:00:50] Habitations of all things which dwell

[00:00:53] We're burnt for beacons

[00:00:56] Oh Lord

[00:00:57] I lack strength I lack strength

[00:01:04] To turn and leave you

[00:01:11] There's no confidence I lack strength

[00:01:19] In my hesitation

[00:01:26] Happy were those who dwelt within the eye of the volcanoes

[00:01:32] Their mountain-torch: A fearful hope was all the world contained

[00:01:37] Forests were set on fire

[00:01:39] But hour by hour they fell and faded

[00:01:43] The crackling trunks extinguished with a crash

[00:01:48] And all was black

[00:01:50] The brows of men by the despairing light wore an unearthly aspect

[00:01:59] The flashes fell upon them; Some lay down and hid their eyes

[00:02:05] And some did rest their chins upon their clenched hands and smiled

[00:02:10] Oh Lord

[00:02:11] I lack strength I lack strength

[00:02:18] To turn and leave you

[00:02:25] There's no confidence I lack strength

[00:02:33] In my hesitation

[00:02:57] She was the universe

[00:03:12] She was the universe

[00:03:53] And vipers crawled

[00:03:55] And twined themselves among the multitude

[00:04:00] Hissing but sting-less

[00:04:01] They were slain for food

[00:04:04] A meal was bought with blood

[00:04:09] And each sat apart

[00:04:11] Gorging himself in gloom

[00:04:14] No love was left

[00:04:15] Oh Lord

[00:04:17] I lack strength I lack strength

[00:04:23] To turn and leave you

[00:04:31] There's no confidence I lack strength

[00:04:38] In my hesitation

[00:05:01] I lack strength I lack strength

[00:05:08] To turn and leave you

[00:05:15] There's no confidence I lack strength

[00:05:23] In my hesitation
