《Driving The Last Spike(2007 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Driving The Last Spike (2007 Digital Remaster) - Genesis (创世纪)

[00:00:48] Leaving my family behind me

[00:00:53] Not knowing what lay ahead

[00:00:58] Waving goodbye as I left them in tears

[00:01:03] Remembering all wed said

[00:01:07] I looked to the sky I offered my prayers

[00:01:12] I asked him for guidance and strength

[00:01:17] But the simple beliefs of a simple man

[00:01:22] Lay in his hands and on my head

[00:01:53] I gave everything that they wanted

[00:01:58] But still they wanted more

[00:02:02] We sweat and we toiled

[00:02:05] Good men lost their lives

[00:02:08] I don't think they knew what for

[00:02:12] I sold them my heart

[00:02:14] I sold them my soul

[00:02:17] I gave everything I had

[00:02:22] Ah but they couldn't break my spirit

[00:02:26] My dignity fought back

[00:02:31] Fightback

[00:02:41] Can you hear me

[00:02:46] Can you see

[00:02:51] Don't you hear me

[00:02:55] Don't you see

[00:03:10] We worked in gangs for all we were worth

[00:03:14] The young boys pulling the wagons

[00:03:19] We were digging the tunnel shifting the earth

[00:03:25] It was then that it happened

[00:03:29] No-one knew how the cracks appeared

[00:03:34] But as it fell they all disappeared

[00:03:39] Stone fell like rain

[00:03:41] Can you hear me

[00:03:46] Can you see

[00:03:51] Don't you hear me

[00:03:56] Can you breathe

[00:04:36] The smoke cleared the dust it settled

[00:04:41] No one knew how many had died

[00:04:46] All around there were broken men

[00:04:50] They'd said it was safe they'd lied

[00:04:55] You could hear the cries you could smell the fear

[00:05:00] But good fortune that day was mine

[00:05:05] And it occurred to me the heart of a good man

[00:05:09] It seems is hard to find

[00:05:15] Can you hear me

[00:05:19] Can you see

[00:05:24] Don't you hear me

[00:05:29] Don't you see

[00:06:03] We worked how we worked like

[00:06:06] The devil for our pay

[00:06:12] Through the wind through the snow

[00:06:16] And through the rain

[00:06:22] Blasting and cutting through gods country like a knife

[00:06:31] Sweat stinging my eyes there has to be a better life

[00:06:40] Ah but I can hear my childrens cry

[00:06:44] I can see the tears in their eyes

[00:06:49] Memories of those I've left behind

[00:06:54] Still ringing in my ears

[00:06:59] Will I ever go back again

[00:07:04] Will I ever see her face again

[00:07:08] I'll never forget that night

[00:07:12] As they waved goodbye to their fathers

[00:07:19] We came from the north

[00:07:22] And we came from the south

[00:07:24] With picks and with spades

[00:07:26] And a new kind of order

[00:07:29] Showing no fear of what lies up ahead

[00:07:33] They'll never see the likes of us again

[00:07:46] Driving the last spike

[00:07:48] Lifting and laying the track

[00:07:55] With blistering hands

[00:07:58] The sun burning your back

[00:08:04] Oh but I can hear my childrens cry

[00:08:08] I can see the tears in their eyes

[00:08:13] Memories of those I've left behind

[00:08:18] Still ringing in my ears

[00:08:23] Well I'll always remember that night

[00:08:27] As they waved goodbye to their fathers

[00:08:34] We followed the rail we slept under the stars

[00:08:39] Digging in darkness and living with danger

[00:08:44] Showing no fear of what lies up ahead

[00:08:48] They'll never see the likes of us again

[00:09:36] Can you hear me

[00:09:41] Can you see

[00:09:46] Don't you hear me

[00:09:51] Don't you see
