《The Seer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Seer (先知) - Big Country (大乡野合唱团)

[00:00:18] Long ago I heard a tale

[00:00:19] I never will forget

[00:00:21] The time was in the telling

[00:00:23] On the bank the scene was set

[00:00:25] The sky was rolling blindly on

[00:00:27] The daylight had not gone

[00:00:29] She washed her hair among the stones

[00:00:31] And saw what was to come

[00:00:36] All this will pass

[00:00:40] There will be blood among the corn

[00:00:42] And heroes in the hills

[00:00:44] But there is more to come my boy

[00:00:46] Before you've had your fill

[00:00:48] Men will come and rape the sail

[00:00:50] As though it were their own

[00:00:52] And they will bathe their feet in oil

[00:00:54] As I have bathed my own

[00:00:59] All this will pass

[00:01:02] All things must come

[00:01:06] Just as I tell you here

[00:01:11] Stones will stand together

[00:01:12] As if searching for the stars

[00:01:14] And all come crashing down again

[00:01:16] Before they reach too far

[00:01:18] She turned to face the setting sun

[00:01:20] I turned to walk away

[00:01:22] But then she called my name again

[00:01:24] And beckoned me to stay

[00:01:29] All this will pass

[00:01:33] All things must come

[00:01:36] Just as I tell you here

[00:01:41] She told me of the famous sons

[00:01:43] Who write their names in peace

[00:01:45] Yet be cut down before the time

[00:01:47] Has come for our release

[00:01:52] Just as I tell you here

[00:01:57] Even now

[00:01:59] I wait for the coming day

[00:02:04] Even now

[00:02:06] She waits in the dawn

[00:02:11] For the tales she tells

[00:02:15] For the gifts that she will sell

[00:02:19] For the sight she knows

[00:02:22] For a vision that still grows

[00:02:26] With the dream

[00:02:28] In her eyes no one's seen

[00:03:05] I listened for so long that day

[00:03:07] That I can hardly tell

[00:03:08] If what she said was heaven sent

[00:03:10] Or brought to bear in hell

[00:03:12] That men of hope would stand alone

[00:03:14] And still be cast a lie

[00:03:16] Just as Romans cast them

[00:03:18] On the day they were to die

[00:03:23] All this will pass

[00:03:31] Just as I tell you here

[00:03:36] Even now

[00:03:38] I wait for the coming day

[00:03:43] Even now

[00:03:45] She waits in the dawn

[00:03:50] For the tales she tells

[00:03:54] For the gifts that she will sell

[00:03:58] For the sight she knows

[00:04:01] For a vision that still grows

[00:04:05] With the dream

[00:04:07] In her eyes no one's seen
