《Rift Valley》歌词

[00:00:00] Rift Valley - Van Der Graaf Generator

[00:00:42] At the edge of the canyon

[00:00:45] Looking down upon the haze

[00:00:51] Which hides the future of this planet

[00:00:55] Home our earth through all the days

[00:00:59] Which have been and will come

[00:01:04] I hear the running feet of those yet to follow

[00:01:14] At the end of such life as I call my own

[00:01:18] I glimpse that yet to come

[00:01:23] Springing from me in the future

[00:01:26] Trees of family shall run

[00:01:31] I have carried the seed

[00:01:36] Conceived from me all people multiply forward

[00:01:49] When it's over they will dig me from the gorge

[00:01:52] And proclaim that I am the first man

[00:01:54] First soldier first speaker first tool user

[00:01:57] That with me civilisation began in some order

[00:02:00] I have stumbled

[00:02:01] Is it right or am I planned

[00:02:14] Still I feel it

[00:02:14] Still I know that some day

[00:02:16] The world will fall to this human hand

[00:02:18] This clenched fist

[00:02:55] If that's the way it's going to be

[00:02:57] I can only say good luck

[00:03:02] You men who follow on from me

[00:03:04] Must crawl your way out of here

[00:03:05] Or all our lives'll be

[00:03:07] Trapped in the chasm

[00:03:36] Trapped in the chasm

[00:03:46] The dying day

[00:03:47] I stand upon the edge stare down

[00:03:50] At what's to come below

[00:03:55] In a way there's all the future in me

[00:03:59] Destiny already known

[00:04:03] Already tired in my heart

[00:04:07] I start the long walk forward

[00:04:12] Into rift valley

[00:04:16] To rest in rift valley

[00:04:22] Still instinctively trying to save my kind

[00:04:25] I survive into the future
