《Jack’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:15] There are few who'd deny at what I do I am the best

[00:00:19] For my talents are renowned far and wide

[00:00:24] When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night

[00:00:28] I excel without ever even trying

[00:00:33] With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms

[00:00:37] I have seen grown men give out a shriek

[00:00:41] With the wave of my hand and a well-placed moan

[00:00:45] I have swept the very bravest off their feet

[00:00:50] Yet year after year it's the same old cheer

[00:00:55] And I grow so weary of the sound of screams

[00:01:00] And I Jack the Pumpkin King

[00:01:05] Have grown so tired of the same old thing

[00:01:12] Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones

[00:01:18] An emptiness began to grow

[00:01:24] There's something out there far from my home

[00:01:30] A longing that I've never known

[00:01:40] I'm a master of fright and a demon of light

[00:01:44] And I'll scare you right out of your pants

[00:01:48] To a guy in Kentucky I'm Mister Unlucky

[00:01:53] And I'm known throughout England and France

[00:01:57] And since I am dead I can take off my head

[00:02:01] To recite Shakespearean quotations

[00:02:06] No animal nor man can scream like I can

[00:02:10] With the fury of my recitations

[00:02:15] But who here would ever understand

[00:02:20] That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin

[00:02:25] Would tire of his crown if they only understood

[00:02:30] He'd give it all up if he only could

[00:02:37] Oh there's an empty place in my bones

[00:02:43] That calls out for something unknown

[00:02:49] The fame and praise come year after year

[00:02:55] Does nothing for these empty tears
