《Slouching Towards Bethlehem》歌词

[00:00:00] Slouching Towards Bethlehem - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)

[00:00:42] Turning and turning within the widening gyre

[00:00:52] The falcon cannot hear the falconer

[00:00:59] Things fall apart the center cannot hold

[00:01:08] And a blood dimmed tide is

[00:01:11] Loosed upon the world

[00:01:18] Nothing is sacred the ceremony sinks

[00:01:28] Innocence is drowned in anarchy

[00:01:35] The best lack conviction

[00:01:41] Given some time to think

[00:01:44] And the worst are full

[00:01:46] Of passion without mercy

[00:01:54] Surely some revelation is at hand

[00:02:00] Surely it's the second coming

[00:02:02] And the wrath has finally taken form

[00:02:06] For what is this rough beast

[00:02:08] It's hour come at last

[00:02:14] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born

[00:02:20] Slouching towards

[00:02:21] Bethlehem to be born oh

[00:02:33] To be born

[00:02:48] Hoping and hoping as

[00:02:53] If by my weak faith

[00:02:57] The spirit of this world would heal and rise

[00:03:04] Vast are the shadows

[00:03:10] That straddle and strafe

[00:03:14] And struggle in the darkness

[00:03:17] Troubling my eyes

[00:03:24] Shaped like a lion

[00:03:29] It has the head of a man

[00:03:33] With a gaze as blank

[00:03:36] And pitiless as the sun

[00:03:40] And it's moving it's slow thighs

[00:03:46] Across the desert sands

[00:03:50] Through dark indignant reeling falcons

[00:04:00] Surely some revelation is at hand

[00:04:05] Surely it's the second coming

[00:04:07] And the wrath has finally taken form

[00:04:11] For what is this rough beast

[00:04:14] It's hour come at last

[00:04:19] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born

[00:04:25] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born

[00:04:29] Oh oh yeah

[00:04:32] Hey hey Bethlehem

[00:04:47] Shape of a lion

[00:04:53] Raging and raging it rises from the deep

[00:05:03] Opening it's eyes after twenty centuries

[00:05:10] Vexed to a nightmare

[00:05:15] Out of a stony sleep

[00:05:19] By a rocking cradle

[00:05:22] By the sea of Galilee

[00:05:29] Surely some revelation is at hand

[00:05:35] Surely it's the second coming

[00:05:37] And the wrath has finally taken form

[00:05:40] For what is this rough beast

[00:05:43] It's hour come at last

[00:05:49] Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born

[00:05:54] Slouching towards Bethlehem

[00:05:56] To be born oh oh yeah

[00:06:03] Hey shape of a lion oh oh

[00:06:16] Just the shape of a lion

[00:06:24] Hey Bethlehem

[00:06:28] Shape of a lion
