《Portrait of the Knight of Wands》歌词

[00:00:00] Portrait Of The Knight Of Wands- Suzanne Vega

[00:00:26] He stood upon the last

[00:00:29] Bastions of the place

[00:00:32] Looked out on the ruins

[00:00:36] With thunder in his face

[00:00:39] An introverted spectacle

[00:00:42] In the flowers on the rocks

[00:00:45] The daisies on the ramparts

[00:00:49] Blowing free

[00:00:53] His heart was divided

[00:00:56] Clouds gathered in the sky

[00:00:59] The belfry made of wood and steel

[00:01:02] Was silenced in it’s cry

[00:01:05] Something must have happened

[00:01:09] What, he wouldn’t say

[00:01:12] But shown within

[00:01:14] The wider lens of history

[00:01:19] His mission the transmission

[00:01:25] Of technology

[00:01:39] One cannon trained upon the church

[00:01:42] This one caught his eye

[00:01:45] “To keep the bishop in his place”

[00:01:49] He muttered with a sigh

[00:01:52] His mood was melancholy

[00:01:55] His attitude severe

[00:01:58] His inner burden

[00:02:00] Weighed upon him mightily

[00:02:27] A bird as never seen in books

[00:02:29] Flew in overhead

[00:02:33] A kind of dove it might have been

[00:02:36] But not a sound was said

[00:02:39] All the ancient knowledge lay

[00:02:42] In pieces on the ground

[00:02:45] The cause of all his suffering

[00:02:49] Was not for love of me.

[00:02:52] His mission the transmission

[00:02:59] Of technology
