《The Tyburn Sisters》歌词

[00:00:00] The Tyburn Sisters - Rattlebag

[00:00:00] Two girls both young and fair of face walked by the rushing river

[00:00:07] One girl her heart the blackest stone had grown to hate the other

[00:00:14] And though she wore a smiling face she'd fallen far from human grace

[00:00:20] Her sister she did murder

[00:00:24] And by the lonely Tothill Marsh the girl did breathe her last

[00:00:31] Thrown from the twisting Tyburn edge into the stream so fast

[00:00:38] The killer watched her sister drown smiled as her body floated down

[00:00:45] Beneath the rushing river

[00:00:49] The river hid its guilty face beneath the dirt of ages

[00:00:56] But hidden deep and far below the angry water rages

[00:01:03] And on this murdered daughter's bones there grew the city's ancient stones

[00:01:10] One death among so many

[00:01:14] And others came to die in time upon the stones of tyburn

[00:01:21] Hung from the twisted gallows tree to face a justice stern

[00:01:28] The blood that flowed into the ground was now the blood of London town

[00:01:35] And of that hidden river

[00:01:40] Death plague and dreadful poverty are suffered by the living

[00:01:47] Still for the restless angry dead there will be no forgiving

[00:01:53] The seasons pass and bring a fool to build a house at old king's school

[00:02:00] Above the secret river

[00:02:04] He dug the soil in that fell place where he had made his home

[00:02:11] And as he worked he found himself holding the whitest bone

[00:02:18] He took his blade to carve a horn

[00:02:21] And from his work a flute was born

[00:02:25] To sing the song of tyburn

[00:02:29] And from that time until this day the only song the flute would play

[00:02:40] Was of the hidden Tyburn
