《Round Table》歌词

[00:00:00] Round Table - Roger McGuinn

[00:00:07] Seventeen feet across

[00:00:09] Of the hardest oak to be found

[00:00:13] Cut to the shape of the sun and the moon

[00:00:16] Shine the color of ale

[00:00:19] And the knights of the living cross

[00:00:23] Gathered all around

[00:00:26] Raise their goblets and drink a toast

[00:00:29] To the search for the holy grail

[00:00:32] There was one well known for charity

[00:00:35] And whose voice was gruff

[00:00:39] And one who wielded a deadly sword

[00:00:42] With the finest lace on his cuff

[00:00:45] There was talk about a fearful ghost

[00:00:49] The bastard son if a king

[00:00:52] Who died at the knee of his lordly host

[00:00:55] You could hear his armor ring

[00:00:59] Still hear his armor ring

[00:01:02] Pure in heart and mind

[00:01:05] The key to all you seek

[00:01:09] Those were the words of the mighty king

[00:01:12] As he looked deep into their eyes

[00:01:16] The best of you have wined and dined

[00:01:19] You're treacherous when you speak

[00:01:22] You look for a way to seal your faith

[00:01:25] But you find a compromise

[00:01:29] You have raised your voice in vanity

[00:01:32] You have turned your back on the poor

[00:01:36] You have closed your heart to the written word

[00:01:39] You defend the evil-doer

[00:01:42] Now the time is come to clean your minds

[00:01:46] If the good is to prevail

[00:01:49] I offer this emerald to the one who finds

[00:01:53] Our saviour's holy grail

[00:01:56] Our saviour's holy grail

[00:02:00] Banners in the sky armor gleaming in the sun

[00:02:06] The sounds of the horses trumpets and drums

[00:02:10] As they marched for the countryside

[00:02:13] And the villagers they rode

[00:02:16] Be were silent everyone

[00:02:20] Frightened mothers closed their shades

[00:02:23] And they made their daughters hide

[00:02:26] And then they came upon a community

[00:02:30] On a quiet summer's day

[00:02:33] But these travelers to jerusalem

[00:02:36] Saw nothing in their way

[00:02:39] And before the night fell on that town

[00:02:43] They had crucified the priest

[00:02:46] They robbed and pillaged and burned it down

[00:02:49] And kept headin' toward the east

[00:02:53] They kept headin' toward the east

[00:02:56] Came to israel stood shimmering in the sand

[00:03:03] Thirsty men could close their eyes

[00:03:06] And see the milk and honey flow

[00:03:09] The blood of the infidel

[00:03:13] Still fresh upon their hands

[00:03:16] They knocked the ancient doorway down

[00:03:19] Like the walls of a jericho

[00:03:23] And they thanked their christianity

[00:03:26] For the temple they had seized

[00:03:29] And though no one found the holy grail

[00:03:33] The mighty king was pleased

[00:03:36] For he had changed the face of history

[00:03:39] And a legend had begun

[00:03:43] And little children were taught to see how

[00:03:46] The good lord's work is done

[00:03:49] How the good lord's work is done

[00:03:52] How the good lord's work is done

[00:03:56] How the good lord's work is done
