《A Ritual Mask》歌词

[00:03:51] A Ritual Mask

[00:03:51] upon the wall

[00:03:51] furnishes his surroundings

[00:03:51] and he thinks that's all.

[00:03:51] The Ritual Mask,

[00:03:51] its power still strong,

[00:03:51] a memento of his travels,

[00:03:51] that he got for a song.

[00:03:51] He got it for a song.

[00:03:51] He got it for a song.

[00:03:51] It was the song of the centuries undisturbed,

[00:03:51] it was the song of secrets and power words;

[00:03:51] it was the song of a culture not grown immune

[00:03:51] to the virus of progress,

[00:03:51] to the theft of the tune.

[00:03:51] The Ritual Mask,

[00:03:51] the evil eye

[00:03:51] inhabits his apartment,

[00:03:51] inhabits his mind

[00:03:51] with a song of vengeance,

[00:03:51] with a song of a debt repaid,

[00:03:51] with a song of justice,

[00:03:51] with a song of a hand unstayed,

[00:03:51] with a song of a culture as old as the hills...

[00:03:51] that sits uneasy on the living-room wall

[00:03:51] like a snake about to kill.

[00:03:51] The Ritual Mask,

[00:03:51] it won't take long

[00:03:51] before he finds out the bargain

[00:03:51] has turned out dreadfully wrong.

[00:03:51] Oh, he got it for a song.
