《The World》歌词

[00:00:10] The World - New Model Army

[00:00:36] The roll of distant thunder breaks

[00:00:39] The afternoon of silence wakes

[00:00:42] They hurry through from Petergate

[00:00:44] As if they know this dance

[00:00:47] In fury blind I drive at night across the moors

[00:00:52] The open roads beneath the freezing starry skies

[00:00:57] Racing in some trance

[00:00:59] These cities are illusions

[00:01:02] Of some triumph over Nature's laws

[00:01:05] We've seen the iron carcass rust

[00:01:08] And buildings topple into dust

[00:01:11] And as the waters rise

[00:01:13] It seems we cling to all the rootless things

[00:01:17] The Christian lies technology

[00:01:20] While spirits scream and sing

[00:01:22] Oh God I love the world

[00:01:24] I love the world

[00:01:26] I love the world

[00:01:27] I love the world

[00:01:29] I love the world

[00:01:30] I love the world

[00:01:32] I love the world

[00:01:33] I love the world

[00:01:35] I love the world

[00:01:36] I love the world

[00:01:37] I love the world

[00:01:39] I love the world

[00:01:40] I love the world

[00:01:42] I love the world

[00:01:43] I love the world

[00:01:45] I love the world

[00:01:47] Well I never said I was a clever man

[00:01:49] But I know enough to understand

[00:01:53] That the endless leaps and forward plans

[00:01:56] Will someday have to cease

[00:01:59] You blind yourselves with comfort lies

[00:02:02] Like lightning never strikes you twice

[00:02:05] And we laugh at your amazed surprise

[00:02:08] As the Ark begins to sink

[00:02:11] This temple that is built so well

[00:02:14] To separate us from ourselves

[00:02:17] Is a power grown beyond control

[00:02:20] A will without a face

[00:02:23] And watching from outside I wish

[00:02:26] That I could wash my hands of this

[00:02:29] But we are locked together here

[00:02:32] This bittersweet embrace

[00:02:34] Oh God I love the world

[00:02:36] I love the world

[00:02:37] I love the world

[00:02:39] I love the world

[00:02:40] I love the world

[00:02:42] I love the world

[00:02:43] I love the world

[00:02:45] I love the world

[00:02:46] I love the world

[00:02:48] I love the world

[00:02:49] I love the world

[00:02:51] I love the world

[00:02:52] I love the world

[00:02:54] I love the world

[00:02:55] I love the world

[00:02:57] I love the world

[00:03:35] And if one day the final fire explodes

[00:03:38] Across the whitened sky

[00:03:40] I know you've said you'd rather die

[00:03:43] And make it over fast

[00:03:45] With courage from your bravest friends

[00:03:49] Waiting outside for the end

[00:03:51] With no bitterness but an innocence

[00:03:55] That I can't seem to grasp

[00:03:57] I know somehow I will survive

[00:04:00] This fury just to stay alive

[00:04:03] So drunk with sickness weak with pain

[00:04:06] I can walk the hills one last time

[00:04:09] Scarred and smiling dying slow

[00:04:12] I'll scream to no one left at all

[00:04:15] I told you so I told you so I told you so

[00:04:34] I love the world

[00:04:36] I love the world

[00:04:37] I love the world

[00:04:39] I love the world

[00:04:40] I love the world

[00:04:42] I love the world

[00:04:43] I told you so
