《Pompeii(2006 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] Pompeii (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:29] The golden dream the seat of all decorum

[00:00:38] A satellite to match the light of Rome:

[00:00:47] Its silver children chatter in the Forum

[00:00:56] The bath-house and the brothels and their homes

[00:01:05] About the latest fashions for their clothes

[00:01:13] Across the Tyrrhenian Sea comes drifting

[00:01:22] A song that none of them have ever known

[00:01:36] The golden dream that holds back all the hours

[00:01:45] For the ladies in their Dionysian rites

[00:01:54] Blonde heads all garlanded with flowers:

[00:02:03] Wine and love and laughter through the night

[00:02:12] In constant masque and pageant constant flight

[00:02:20] The ground below them whispers in a murmur

[00:02:29] Of passion which is hotter yet than white

[00:02:52] The golden dream the city of all cities

[00:03:00] Its towers piercing into the azure sky

[00:03:09] Whose hand is dealt regarless of all pity:

[00:03:18] Condemned to martyrdom but not to die

[00:03:27] Two lovers look up from their hidden bower

[00:03:36] The wine has stood too long and it turns sour

[00:03:45] I see the tall and bending of your streets

[00:03:49] But now they echo only leather tourist feet

[00:03:54] And waking ashen grey-blue blinding death

[00:03:59] Your sudden winding-sheet
