《The Night Watch》歌词

[00:00:00] The Night Watch - King Crimson (金·克瑞森)

[00:01:25] Shine shine the light of good works shine

[00:01:35] The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime

[00:01:45] That golden light all grimy now

[00:01:50] Three hundred years have passed

[00:01:53] The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast

[00:02:07] The artist knew their faces well

[00:02:10] Husbands of his lady friends

[00:02:12] His creditors and councillors

[00:02:14] In armour bright the merchant men

[00:02:16] Official moments of the guild

[00:02:18] In poses keen from bygone days

[00:02:20] City fathers frozen there

[00:02:22] Upon the canvas dark with age

[00:02:32] The smell of paint a flask of wine

[00:02:34] And turn those faces all to me

[00:02:36] Blunderbuss and halberd-shaft

[00:02:38] And dutch respectability

[00:02:40] They make their entrance one by one

[00:02:42] Defenders of that way of life

[00:02:45] Redbrick home the bourgeoisie

[00:02:46] And guitar lessons for the wife

[00:03:37] So many years we suffered here

[00:03:39] Our country racked with Spanish wars

[00:03:41] Now comes a chance to find ourselves

[00:03:43] Quiet reigns behind our doors

[00:03:45] Think about posterity again

[00:04:20] So the pride of little men

[00:04:24] The burghers good and true

[00:04:26] Still living through the painter's hands

[00:04:29] Request you all to understand
