《Silver Ships Of Andilar》歌词

[00:00:00] Silver Ships Of Andilar - Townes Van Zandt

[00:00:09] Of those that sailed the silver ships

[00:00:14] From Andilar I am the last

[00:00:20] The deeds that rang our youthful dreams

[00:00:24] It seems shall go undone

[00:00:29] North for the shores of Valinor

[00:00:33] Our bows and crimson sails were made

[00:00:39] Our captains were strong our lances long

[00:00:43] And our liege the holy king

[00:00:50] The hills did turn from green to blue

[00:00:54] And vanish as on the decks we watched

[00:01:01] But every thought in that noble company

[00:01:05] Was forward bound

[00:01:09] To the lifeless plains of Valinor

[00:01:14] Where reigns the dark and frozen one

[00:01:22] And with tongues afire and glorious eyes

[00:01:26] We pledged our mission be

[00:01:33] The clime from mild to bitter ran

[00:01:37] The wind from fair to fierce did blow

[00:01:43] Oath and prayer did turn to thoughts

[00:01:47] Of homes left far behind

[00:01:52] Longed every man for some glimpse of land

[00:01:56] And the host that did await us there

[00:02:04] But each new day brought only a sea

[00:02:09] And sky of ice and gray

[00:02:16] Thanks give no word can drag you through

[00:02:20] Those endless weeks our ships did roll

[00:02:26] Thanks give you cannot see those sails

[00:02:30] And faces bleach and draw

[00:02:35] Ice we drank and leather did chew

[00:02:39] For the oceans are unwholesome there

[00:02:45] The dead that slid into the seas

[00:02:49] Did freeze before our eyes

[00:02:56] Then a wind did fling the ships apart

[00:03:01] Each one to go her separate way

[00:03:06] The sky did howl the hull did groan

[00:03:11] For how long I do not know

[00:03:15] And what men were left when the winds had ceased

[00:03:20] Grew dull and low of countenance

[00:03:26] For soldiers denied their battle plain

[00:03:30] On comrades soon must turn

[00:03:37] So one by one we died alone

[00:03:42] Some by hunger some by steel

[00:03:47] Everybodies froze where they did fall

[00:03:52] Their souls unsanctified

[00:03:56] Until only another and I were left

[00:04:01] Then just before his flame did fail

[00:04:06] We shone ourselves brothers-in-arms

[00:04:11] To serve the holy king

[00:04:18] Perhaps this shall reach Andilar

[00:04:22] Although I know not how it can

[00:04:28] For once again he's hurled his wind

[00:04:32] Upon the silver prow

[00:04:37] But if it should my words are these

[00:04:42] Arise young men fine ships to build

[00:04:48] And set them north for Valinor

[00:04:52] Neath standards proud as fire
