《The World》歌词

[00:00:00] The World - New Model Army

[00:00:38] The roll of distant thunder breaks

[00:00:41] The afternoon of silence wakes

[00:00:44] They hurry through from Peter gate

[00:00:47] As if they know this dance

[00:00:49] In fury blind I drive at night

[00:00:53] Across the moors the open roads

[00:00:56] Beneath the freezing starry skies

[00:00:59] Racing in some trance

[00:01:02] These cities are illusions of

[00:01:04] Some triumph over nature's laws

[00:01:08] We've seen the iron carcass rust

[00:01:10] And buildings topple into dust

[00:01:13] And as the waters rise it seems

[00:01:16] We cling to all the rootless things

[00:01:19] The Christian lies technology

[00:01:22] While spirits scream and sing

[00:01:25] Oh God I love the world

[00:01:27] I love the world

[00:01:28] I love the world

[00:01:29] I love the world

[00:01:31] I love the world

[00:01:32] I love the world

[00:01:34] I love the world

[00:01:35] I love the world

[00:01:37] I love the world

[00:01:38] I love the world

[00:01:40] I love the world

[00:01:41] I love the world

[00:01:43] I love this world

[00:01:44] I love the world

[00:01:46] Yes I love the world

[00:01:49] Well I never said I was a clever man

[00:01:52] But I know enough to understand

[00:01:55] That the endless leaps and forward plans

[00:01:58] Will someday have to cease

[00:02:01] You blind yourselves with comfort lies

[00:02:04] Like lightning never strikes you twice

[00:02:07] And we laugh at your amazed surprise

[00:02:10] As the ark begins to sink

[00:02:13] This temple that is built so well

[00:02:16] To seperate us from ourselves

[00:02:20] Is a power grown beyond control

[00:02:22] A will without a face

[00:02:25] And watching from outside I wish

[00:02:28] That I could wash my hands of this

[00:02:31] But we are locked together here

[00:02:34] This bittersweet embrace

[00:02:36] Oh God I love the world

[00:02:38] I love the world

[00:02:40] I love the world

[00:02:41] I love the world

[00:02:43] I love the world

[00:02:44] I love the world

[00:02:46] I love the world

[00:02:47] I love the world

[00:02:49] I love the world

[00:02:50] I love the world

[00:02:52] I love the world

[00:02:53] I love the world

[00:02:55] I love this world

[00:02:56] I love the world

[00:02:58] Yes I love the world

[00:02:59] I love the world

[00:03:36] And if one day the final fire

[00:03:39] Explodes across the whitened sky

[00:03:42] I know you said you'd rather die

[00:03:45] And make it overfast

[00:03:48] With courage from your bravest friends

[00:03:51] Waiting outside for the end

[00:03:54] With no bitterness but an innocence

[00:03:57] That I can't seem to grasp

[00:04:00] I know somehow I will survive

[00:04:02] This fury just to stay alive

[00:04:05] So drunk with sickness

[00:04:07] Weak with pain

[00:04:08] I can walk the hills one last time

[00:04:11] Scarred and smiling

[00:04:13] Dying slow

[00:04:14] I'll scream to no one

[00:04:16] Left at all

[00:04:17] I told you so

[00:04:19] I told you so

[00:04:20] I told you so

[00:04:37] I love the world

[00:04:38] I love the world

[00:04:40] I love this world

[00:04:42] I love the world

[00:04:44] I love the world

[00:04:46] I've told you so
