《The Seventh Seal》歌词

[00:00:00] The Seventh Seal - Scott Walker (斯考特·沃克)

[00:00:14] Anybody seen a knight pass this way

[00:00:21] I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday

[00:00:29] His crusade was a search for God and they say

[00:00:35] It's been a along way to carry on

[00:00:46] Anybody hear of plague in this town

[00:00:52] The town I've left behind was burned to the ground

[00:00:59] A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried

[00:01:07] I'm not a witch God knows my name

[00:01:13] The knight he watched with fear

[00:01:17] He needed to know

[00:01:20] He ran where he might feel God's breath

[00:01:27] And in the misty church

[00:01:30] He knelt to confess

[00:01:34] The face within the booth was Mr Death

[00:01:45] My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless smiles

[00:01:52] Why can't God touch me with a sign

[00:01:59] Perhaps there's no one there answered the booth

[00:02:06] And Death hid within his cloak and smiled

[00:02:13] This morning I played chess with Death said the knight

[00:02:19] We played that he might grant me time

[00:02:27] My bishop and my knight will shatter his flanks

[00:02:33] And still I might feel God's heart in mine

[00:02:41] And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard

[00:02:47] The knight cried No you've cheated me

[00:02:54] But still I'll find a way

[00:02:57] We'll meet once again and once again

[00:03:03] Continue to play

[00:03:12] They met within the woods the knight his squire and friends

[00:03:19] And Death said now the game shall end

[00:03:26] The final move was made

[00:03:28] The knight hung his head

[00:03:32] And said you've won I've nothing left to play

[00:03:40] The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love

[00:03:46] To look against the stormy sky

[00:03:53] The knight his squire and friends

[00:03:56] Their hands held as one

[00:04:00] Solemnly danced toward the dawn

[00:04:07] His hourglass in his hand his scythe by his side

[00:04:14] The master Death he leads them on

[00:04:21] The rain will wash away the tears from their faces

[00:04:28] And as the thunder cracked they were gone
