《How Have the Mighty Fallen?》歌词

[00:08:16] Songs Title锛歨ow have the mighty fallen?

[00:08:16] Denizens of sylvan places

[00:08:16] Hidden from the eyes of man

[00:08:16] Courtesans with sylph-like graces

[00:08:16] Dancing to the pipes of Pan

[00:08:16] That echoed through the ether

[00:08:16] Notes that soured the wings of halcyon

[00:08:16] Songs to give our life the meaning

[00:08:16] That we lack now they have gone.

[00:08:16] Watch the pattern ever changing

[00:08:16] In the tapestry of fate

[00:08:16] Weft and weave and interlacing

[00:08:16] Silken strands that fabricate

[00:08:16] A cloak to fit both king and beggar

[00:08:16] Those who rule and those that toil

[00:08:16] Are equalled in the fact that

[00:08:16] All pay homage to this mortal coil.

[00:08:16] Icy fingers grasping madly

[00:08:16] Get a grip upon my throat

[00:08:16] And slowly squeeze the life out of me

[00:08:16] On my dying words I choke

[00:08:16] Afrantic prayer in desperation

[00:08:16] Cannot hope to make me whole

[00:08:16] A moments lapse of concentration

[00:08:16] And the spirits flee my soul.

[00:08:16] Drugs and potions surge within me

[00:08:16] Slowly paralize and kill me

[00:08:16] Terrified I stumble blindly

[00:08:16] Into the unknown.

[00:08:16] Outside looking in observing

[00:08:16] Feelings that I find unnerving

[00:08:16] Dying with my eyes wide open

[00:08:16] Helpless and alone.

[00:08:16] The endless void that lies beyond

[00:08:16] With gaping jaws it beckons me

[00:08:16] I cast my worldly flesh aside and

[00:08:16] Plunge into eternity.

[00:08:16] Once light hearted I departed

[00:08:16] On my quest hope courted me

[00:08:16] Now a new love is my true love

[00:08:16] And her name is misery.

[00:08:16] Eyes as dark as midnight-ravens

[00:08:16] Gems that filled my mind with awe

[00:08:16] Enthral my heart

[00:08:16] Distract me from her milk-white hands

[00:08:16] Stained red with gore.

[00:08:16] The fetters that bound me are broken

[00:08:16] By words that were best left unspoken

[00:08:16] For now I am shackled to sadness

[00:08:16] By chains that are tempered with madness.

[00:08:16] I plummet like a shooting-star

[00:08:16] That shines so bright yet falls so far

[00:08:16] Shafts of moonlight guide me

[00:08:16] To the world that waits below.

[00:08:16] I seem in need of nothing else

[00:08:16] But rope enough to hang myself-

[00:08:16] Laughing through the gates of Hell I go.

[00:08:16] MY SOULS LAMENT

[00:08:16] Contained within a living shroud

[00:08:16] My life-force fades and dies

[00:08:16] This weary heart grows heavy

[00:08:16] As the coins upon my eyes.

[00:08:16] The latch has now been lifted

[00:08:16] On an ever open door

[00:08:16] And peering through I see things

[00:08:16] As I never have before.

[00:08:16] The hammer and the anvil meet

[00:08:16] In synchronicity they chime

[00:08:16] #a sound so simple and complete

[00:08:16] It needs no melody or rhyme.

[00:08:16] Reforging all that I once was

[00:08:16] They make me into something new

[00:08:16] No longer trapped within this world

[00:08:16] But transient and passing through

[00:08:16] The 'valley of the shadow'

[00:08:16] Far beyond the 'summerland'

[00:08:16] Like the wild-boar is my valour

[00:08:16] Now my life is in these hands

[00:08:16] That keep the seething couldron steaming

[00:08:16] Stoke the fires of destiny

[00:08:16] Gently take me and re-shape me

[00:08:16] All-wise smith of sorcery

[00:08:16] The fetters that bound me are broken

[00:08:16] By words that were best left unspoken

[00:08:16] For now I am shackled to sadness

[00:08:16] By chains that are tempered with madness.

[00:08:16] From the 'cup of happiness'

[00:08:16] The wine of hoped I've sipped

[00:08:16] Betrayed I taste the bitterness

[00:08:16] Of pain upon my lips.

[00:08:16] Though I try to drown my sorrows

[00:08:16] They will surely drown me first

[00:08:16] For swallowing my pride

[00:08:16] Won't quench this thirst.

[00:08:16] MY SOULS LAMENT

[00:08:16] In this darkness light has faded

[00:08:16] Hope becomes despair

[00:08:16] Loneliness for a companion

[00:08:16] With me everywhere.

[00:08:16] I wander in confusion

[00:08:16] While the tears that I have cried

[00:08:16] Gleam like broken trinkets

[00:08:16] You have worn then cast aside.

[00:08:16] WODEN

[00:08:16] Now hand-in-hand with ignorance

[00:08:16] The power mad run blindly

[00:08:16] But retibution hunts you down

[00:08:16] And rest assured he'll find thee.

[00:08:16] No curtain could conceal you

[00:08:16] For the ghosts of all you slander-

[00:08:16] Await you at your journeys end

[00:08:16] And to them you must answer.

[00:08:16] The poisons born upon your tongue

[00:08:16] Will never serve to slight me

[00:08:16] For I have delt with many fools and

[00:08:16] Suffer your kind lightly.

[00:08:16] Just as you sow so shall you reap

[00:08:16] And I my friend have plenty

[00:08:16] So sit ye down and eat your words

[00:08:16] Now that your plate is empty.

[00:08:16] The endless void that lies beyond

[00:08:16] With gaping jaws it beckons me

[00:08:16] I cast my worldly flesh aside and

[00:08:16] Plunge into eternity.

[00:08:16] Once light hearted I departed

[00:08:16] On my quest hope courted me

[00:08:16] Now a new love is my true love

[00:08:16] And her name is misery.

[00:08:16] Eyes as dark as midnight-ravens

[00:08:16] Gems that filled my mind with awe

[00:08:16] Enthral my heart

[00:08:16] Distract me from her milk-white hands

[00:08:16] Stained red with gore.

[00:08:16] The fetters that bound me are broken

[00:08:16] By words that were best left unspoken

[00:08:16] For now I am shackled to sadness

[00:08:16] By chains that are tempered with madness.

[00:08:16] And peering through I see things

[00:08:16] As I never have before.

[00:08:16] WODEM

[00:08:16] Why do the mighty view the world

[00:08:16] Through syncophantic eyes

[00:08:16] Then claim to us they know what's best

[00:08:16] From pedastals of pride?

[00:08:16] Don't take the views of others

[00:08:16] And dismiss them out of hand

[00:08:16] For when your pillars crumble

[00:08:16] Tell me who will take command?
