《Puer Ferox Adventus》歌词

[00:00:00] Puer Ferox Adventus-Ian Anderson

[00:00:11] The brash North wind strikes

[00:00:15] upon the isle of Lindisfarne.

[00:00:19] I offer searching souls the wisdom of my years.

[00:00:27] These lessons writ in book of ages holy, past.

[00:00:34] The agony, the righteous path to

[00:00:38] steer between the waves,

[00:00:41] the dark abyss, tied to the mast.

[00:00:50] This sponge of pragmatic Constantine

[00:00:57] mops them all up and wipes them clean.

[00:01:03] It's all okay, it's all official. The Christ

[00:01:11] child advent here to be seen.

[00:01:16] Saturn's Solstice, Yuletide blotted,

[00:01:23] blended in cynic innocence.

[00:01:30] Meet in Milan and host the party,

[00:01:36] safer to sit astride the fence.

[00:01:44] What is this book? These airy pages?

[00:01:50] Scribed and scribbled with latitude.

[00:01:57] Tallest tales for poor and needy in wide-

[00:02:03] eyed wonder at faith renewed.

[00:02:10] Words of gospel and redemption,

[00:02:16] absolution if we repent

[00:02:22] Emperor's deathbed, late salvation,

[00:02:28] baptism in dubious testament.

[00:02:36] There's a wild child coming.

[00:02:40] There's an angry man.

[00:02:45] There's a new age dawning

[00:02:50] here, to an old age plan.

[00:02:55] Manic mother, her child gone missing:

[00:03:02] found in the temple with the elder men.

[00:03:08] Gone about His Father's business. Yeah -

[00:03:15] but he soon goes missing once again.

[00:03:22] Ducked his head with the mad-John prophet.

[00:03:27] West bank desert doubts and fear.

[00:03:33] White magic, healing, and exorcism: got

[00:03:40] twelve good men - now the gang's all here.

[00:03:48] There's a wild child coming.

[00:03:52] There's an angry man.

[00:03:56] There's a new age dawning

[00:04:01] here, to an old age plan.

[00:04:59] Proclamation, divine seed sown.

[00:05:06] (Did he really say that thing?)

[00:05:12] On donkey colt, calm, to the Passion, knowing

[00:05:20] full well what the charge must bring.

[00:05:25] The body bread, a farewell supper,

[00:05:31] bounty silver, a kiss betrayed

[00:05:37] lt's a long, hard haul, that Via Dolorosa.

[00:05:44] No last contrition, quite unafraid.

[00:05:51] There's a wild child coming.

[00:05:56] There's an angry man.

[00:06:00] There's a new age dawning

[00:06:05] here, to an old age plan.

[00:06:10] There's a wild child coming.

[00:06:14] There's an angry man.

[00:06:19] There's a new age dawning

[00:06:24] here, to an old age plan.
