《The Tragic Period》歌词

[00:00:01] The Tragic Period - Exhorder

[00:02:44] Here's a tale in history

[00:02:46] About a period of tragedy

[00:02:48] A man who thought of horrid things

[00:02:50] But really sought what happiness brings

[00:02:52] Terror instilled within the souls

[00:02:54] Of men and women young and old

[00:02:56] Come and listen to me in my soul

[00:03:02] He'll make your morale descend

[00:03:05] One Boston day it's sad to say

[00:03:06] A newborn child was granted miserable life

[00:03:08] Abandoned by his father and

[00:03:10] Left alone by death of father's wife

[00:03:12] Foster child

[00:03:14] Tobacco exporter gave him a chance

[00:03:16] History defiled

[00:03:18] Twisted by literature

[00:03:19] Dark and opium enhanced

[00:03:21] Irregularity

[00:03:22] So far ahead of his time

[00:03:24] A spark of a breed

[00:03:26] Regarding all of his literature creed

[00:03:32] Infamy of tales and poetry

[00:03:34] Connecting his themes to his wildest dreams

[00:03:44] The maelstrom grew but no one knew

[00:03:46] He descended far beyond its spinning walls

[00:03:48] Into the pit

[00:03:49] The black abyss

[00:03:50] His house was collapsing as he searched for El Dorado

[00:03:59] Perched upon Pallas was life hard and callous

[00:04:01] The shadows of burden lifted nevermore

[00:04:02] The vulture eye of death concealed

[00:04:05] By wooden planks below the floor

[00:04:07] The quest for solace evolved into sorrow

[00:04:08] Lingering obsessions

[00:04:10] Intoxication stimulation creation

[00:04:12] Hindering addictions

[00:04:30] Apparently the message in a bottle was lost

[00:04:31] For I could see no conclusion

[00:04:33] But all of us remaining in the shrouded past

[00:04:35] Must remember to further ourselves by obtrusion

[00:04:56] Inebriated grin leads the mighty pen

[00:04:58] Across the paper as his fears come alive

[00:05:00] Satiric whim ignites the brim

[00:05:02] Of insanity as Pluto arrives

[00:05:05] Swaying cognac barriers

[00:05:07] And the beating of his hideous heart

[00:05:09] Increasing ever so constantly

[00:05:11] Conjuring the ne'er forgotten lore

[00:05:21] 'Tis only this and nothing more

[00:05:32] Nevermore

[00:05:36] Lightning bolts

[00:05:38] Tearing through his house and soul

[00:05:40] Mental gibes

[00:05:41] Darkness hailed in what he's told

[00:05:50] Eternally infatuated with despair

[00:05:59] Fortunado leads the way to fermented pleasures

[00:06:03] But as the cup of drink is met

[00:06:05] The hour tolls and the Red Death guest reveals

[00:06:15] In a kingdom by the sea

[00:06:16] Is where they left beloved thee

[00:06:18] The time has come to join my dear

[00:06:20] In your kingdom by the sea

[00:06:40] Hear the toll of the iron bells

[00:06:56] Hear the toll of the iron bells
