《When The War Began》歌词

[00:00:01] Riegal - Pearls Before Swine

[00:00:10] First I will describe the scene to you

[00:00:16] Do you have it right

[00:00:18] In 1944 the Riegal

[00:00:23] She went down

[00:00:24] She went down

[00:00:26] With 4 000 prisoners

[00:00:32] Asleep on board

[00:00:35] Well now do you

[00:00:38] I want to know if you

[00:00:41] Have it right is it like

[00:00:43] The borders of a dream

[00:00:48] Have taken you inside

[00:00:51] The Riegel was a mighty ship

[00:00:52] 4 000 prisoners strong

[00:00:56] The Captain he was gallant

[00:01:00] Or perhaps he was a prisoner too

[00:01:04] Who's to know for sure who's who

[00:01:10] One night it was very late

[00:01:14] The Riegel tore its side

[00:01:18] 4 000 prisoners and the Captain

[00:01:22] They were trapped inside

[00:01:26] Has there been any news

[00:01:29] I feel so out of place

[00:01:31] The Captain's always busy

[00:01:34] Being in a state of grace

[00:01:40] Are you listening out there

[00:01:45] The crew they were a sorry lot

[00:01:50] Blinded by their blood

[00:01:53] The Captain he whispered orders

[00:01:57] You could not hear him above the flood

[00:02:02] Then somebody said "the ocean's here "

[00:02:06] But someone said "No there's more"

[00:02:10] And the last thing I remember

[00:02:15] Is a broken hand clinging to the Captain's door

[00:02:19] Has there been any news

[00:02:22] I feel so out of place

[00:02:24] The Captain's always busy

[00:02:26] Being in a state of grace

[00:02:28] But what I want to know is

[00:02:32] Anybody listening

[00:02:33] Is anybody listening

[00:02:36] Is anybody listening
