《Execution Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Execution Song - Simon Dawes

[00:00:40] Seven men in a dust bin congress

[00:00:42] Standing in a row for final harvest

[00:00:45] There's a swinging motion to their shadows

[00:00:49] As if the sun above was a pocket watch

[00:00:54] Sparrows diving in the whirlwinds arriving

[00:00:57] Playing games with floating dead flowers revolving

[00:01:02] Those little white darlings like the hard snow falling

[00:01:05] On someone just standing over what they've caught

[00:01:11] There's always been a deep six waiting right below you

[00:01:14] Every time you thought you had tomorrow to wake up to

[00:01:17] Now you shut your eyes don't hold your tears back

[00:01:20] As your head gets a hold of what they're giving you

[00:01:25] And your legs start folding in twelve different places

[00:01:28] And up and down your back you feel the spectators' faces

[00:01:32] Hear your slow counting in three slow paces

[00:01:35] And your brain shows you pictures of wide open spaces

[00:01:38] Where you once shot the rifle your grandfather gave you

[00:01:41] At a brand new white wooden water tower

[00:01:49] But don't come to me and cry 'May Day'

[00:01:55] Cause it doesn't work that way

[00:02:02] But don't come to me and cry 'May Day'

[00:02:08] Cause it doesn't work that way

[00:02:42] I'm sure you didn't get a chance to see it

[00:02:45] But those scruffy boys from our country pockets

[00:02:48] Had a mean case of jitters that could

[00:02:50] Shake the name off God above

[00:02:55] And this is where you learn to talk in secrets

[00:02:58] Where the guilt's so dry and the sweat is helpless

[00:03:01] When they say "You know this is for what he did"

[00:03:05] But it just isn't good enough

[00:03:10] Well I've seen karma and his ball dropping

[00:03:12] I've seen life and its clever ways of stopping

[00:03:16] I've seen people chase dreams until the dream's forgotten

[00:03:19] And I've seen a killer with a heavy heart

[00:03:24] When the trigger can just be made of plastic

[00:03:28] And the blood can just be something that ruined the fabric

[00:03:31] On the uniform that you could just burn with matches

[00:03:34] But your eyes fall shut as reality disquiets

[00:03:37] And you finally know that what has happened today

[00:03:40] Is going to be a part of you

[00:03:48] And this better be a big pay day

[00:03:54] But it doesn't look that way
