《Mustapha’s Tale》歌词

[00:00:00] Mustapha's Tale - Angelo Branduardi

[00:01:26] Mustapha the silver bit

[00:01:28] And stoked up the fire

[00:01:31] Began his tale once

[00:01:33] In the blue hills so tired

[00:01:35] I found a cave to shelter in

[00:01:38] The entrance was low

[00:01:40] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind knows

[00:01:46] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows

[00:01:56] Suddenly awakened with a

[00:01:58] Black chill of terror

[00:02:00] I saw twelve hooded figures

[00:02:02] In graveyard apparel

[00:02:05] Who shuffling towards

[00:02:07] Me where I crouched by the wall

[00:02:10] Said Mustapha you're now one of us

[00:02:13] We have need of one more

[00:02:16] Yes joining hands they left

[00:02:18] A place and called for one more

[00:02:25] Thirteen we must be tonight

[00:02:28] For conjure and scheme

[00:02:30] My limbs gave me to them

[00:02:33] I prayed that I dreamed

[00:02:35] My hands held fast by other

[00:02:37] Hands the circle was closed

[00:02:40] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind knows

[00:02:46] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows

[00:03:39] A pentagram of Caldea

[00:03:41] Was drawn in vermillion

[00:03:43] Where five lamps were

[00:03:45] A'flickering to foul incantation

[00:03:49] When all at once sulphurous vapours did rise

[00:03:53] A cloud a shape a form

[00:03:55] A face with tapers for eyes

[00:04:03] Never was a gargoyle more

[00:04:05] Hideously moulded

[00:04:07] Or a voice heard more of snake fit

[00:04:09] Which that awful head issued

[00:04:12] No greater riches offered for

[00:04:14] A small sacrifice

[00:04:17] A name in blood a promised soul

[00:04:19] The unholy price

[00:04:23] A name in blood a promised soul

[00:04:25] The unholy price

[00:05:15] It offered me all women both living and dead

[00:05:20] Palaces and flower a crown for my head

[00:05:25] But from somewhere deep inside

[00:05:27] Me came the strength to scream no

[00:05:30] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind knows

[00:05:36] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows

[00:05:45] Mustapha the silver bit and

[00:05:47] Stoked up the fire

[00:05:49] Began his tale once in the

[00:05:52] Blue hills so tired

[00:05:54] I found a cave to shelter in and

[00:05:57] The rest I've disclosed

[00:05:59] Fable or fantasy the desert wind blows

[00:06:05] If its fable or fantasy the desert wind blows
