《Memento Mori》歌词

[00:00:02] Memento Mori - Patti Smith

[00:00:26] The fans were whirling

[00:00:30] Like the blades of a copter

[00:00:40] Lifting into the skies above some foreign land

[00:00:48] Soaked with the bodies of so many friends

[00:00:53] Johnny waved

[00:01:01] He was on his way home

[00:01:04] He waved goodbye to his comrades in arms

[00:01:09] And all the twisted things he has seen

[00:01:12] He waved goodbye

[00:01:19] And the blades hit

[00:01:31] Something

[00:01:35] Maybe just Fate but the blades hit

[00:01:40] The copter went up in flames

[00:01:45] And Johnny never went marching home

[00:01:51] Johnny never went marching home

[00:01:59] They took his name

[00:02:03] And they carved it on a slab of marble

[00:02:08] With several thousand other names

[00:02:15] All the fallen idols

[00:02:18] The apples of their mother's eye

[00:02:23] Just another name

[00:02:46] Meanwhile

[00:02:50] Back on that burning shore

[00:02:56] Johnny's comrades stood speechless

[00:03:05] They looked with uh-uh-uh-uh disbelieving eyes

[00:03:13] As those bits of metal and the embers

[00:03:22] The embers of his eyes

[00:03:25] Fanned out into the air

[00:03:28] Black dust

[00:03:30] Flames

[00:03:32] Oh Johnny some day they'll make a movie about you

[00:03:38] And in the making of that movie

[00:03:40] Some mad apocalypse

[00:03:43] It will become even stranger than the simple act

[00:03:51] Just a boy going up up up

[00:03:57] Just a boy going up

[00:04:00] In flames in the smoke

[00:04:03] Just another life

[00:04:05] Just another breath

[00:04:07] And who'll remember

[00:04:11] Oh eternity now

[00:04:14] As eternal as a sheet of marble

[00:04:18] Eternal as a slab on a green hill

[00:04:24] And your name

[00:04:26] And all your fallen brothers

[00:04:30] And all the ones not cut

[00:04:33] All the ones remembered only in the hearts

[00:04:39] A mother a father a brother a sister a lover a son a daughter

[00:04:52] Shall not shall not fade shall not fade

[00:05:16] Your ancestors salute you

[00:05:24] And the gods of your ancestors salute you

[00:05:29] Having having been formed by the minds of your ancestors

[00:05:36] The gods of your ancestors salute you

[00:05:40] Having been formed by your ancestors

[00:05:46] The gods of your ancestors salute you

[00:05:49] They draw you in they draw you through

[00:05:55] They draw they draw you through that golden door

[00:06:03] Moring boy

[00:06:06] We remember you

[00:06:16] We conceived of you

[00:06:17] We conceived of your breath

[00:06:20] We conceived of the whole human race

[00:06:24] And we conceived it to be a beautiful thing

[00:06:28] Like a tulip bending in the wind

[00:06:32] Sometimes it comes back to us

[00:06:35] In the form of a handful of dust

[00:06:38] Comes back in the form of a smitten child

[00:06:45] Our raped daughters ah the broken bones

[00:06:54] Souls cleaved from hearts

[00:06:57] They come back to us

[00:07:00] And our hands are filled with their rotting tissues

[00:07:03] But we turn not our backs

[00:07:13] We press our lips

[00:07:16] Into their cancer into the dust into the remains of each one

[00:07:20] And that love is there and will greet you will greet you

[00:07:33] Morning boy

[00:07:37] It's eternal love

[00:08:20] Well here go ahead run through that flame

[00:08:28] For a man you must to your mind

[00:08:31] You took a cat you took a life you took it by the tail

[00:08:37] And you swirled it around your head

[00:08:41] And you thrashed it you smashed the life out of it

[00:08:46] And you knew that it would be your own

[00:08:49] But you wanted to feel you wanted to feel it die

[00:08:54] Because you know you would feel your own

[00:08:58] You would feel your own

[00:09:00] But you're remembered

[00:09:04] You're remembered

[00:09:06] You're remembered DEAD

[00:09:09] You're remembered DEAD

[00:09:12] You're remembered DEAD

[00:09:28] We remember

[00:09:30] We remember

[00:09:33] We remember

[00:09:36] Everything

[00:09:38] Everything
