《Tempest》歌词

[00:00:05] Tempest

[00:00:23] The pale moon rose in its glory

[00:00:27] Out on the Western town

[00:00:31] She told a sad sad story

[00:00:35] Of the great ship that went down

[00:00:39] T'was the fourteenth day of April

[00:00:43] Over the waves she rode

[00:00:47] Sailing into tomorrow

[00:00:50] To a golden age foretold

[00:00:55] The night was black with starlight

[00:00:58] The seas were sharp and clear

[00:01:02] Moving through the shadows

[00:01:06] The promised hour was near

[00:01:10] Lights were holding steady

[00:01:14] Gliding over the foam

[00:01:18] All the lords and ladies

[00:01:22] Heading for their eternal home

[00:01:26] The chandeliers were swaying

[00:01:29] From the balustrades above

[00:01:33] The orchestra was playing

[00:01:37] Songs of faded love

[00:01:41] The watchman he lay dreaming

[00:01:45] As the ballroom dancers twirled

[00:01:49] He dreamed the Titanic was sinking

[00:01:53] Into the underworld

[00:02:13] Leo took his sketchbook

[00:02:16] He was often so inclined

[00:02:20] He closed his eyes and painted

[00:02:24] The scenery in his mind

[00:02:28] Cupid struck his bosom

[00:02:32] And broke it with a snap

[00:02:36] The closest woman to him

[00:02:39] He fell into her lap

[00:02:43] He heard a loud commotion

[00:02:47] Something sounded wrong

[00:02:51] His inner spirit was saying

[00:02:55] That he couldn't stand here long

[00:02:59] He staggered to the quarterdeck

[00:03:03] No time now to sleep

[00:03:07] Water on the quarterdeck

[00:03:11] Already three foot deep

[00:03:15] Smokestack was leaning sideways

[00:03:18] Heavy feet began to pound

[00:03:22] He walked into the whirlwind

[00:03:26] Sky splitting all around

[00:03:30] The ship was going under

[00:03:34] The universe had opened wide

[00:03:38] The roll was called up yonder

[00:03:42] The angels turned aside

[00:03:46] Lights down in the hallway

[00:03:50] Flickering dim and dull

[00:03:54] Dead bodies already floating

[00:03:57] In the double bottom hull

[00:04:01] The engines then exploded

[00:04:05] Propellers they failed to start

[00:04:09] The boilers overloaded

[00:04:13] The ship's bow split apart

[00:04:17] Passengers were flying

[00:04:21] Backward forward far and fast

[00:04:24] They mumbled fumbled and tumbled

[00:04:28] Each one more weary than the last

[00:04:32] The veil was torn asunder

[00:04:36] 'Tween the hours of twelve and one

[00:04:40] No change no sudden wonder

[00:04:44] Could undo what had been done

[00:04:48] The watchman lay there dreaming

[00:04:52] At forty-five degrees

[00:04:56] He dreamed that the Titanic was sinking

[00:05:00] Dropping to her knees

[00:05:19] Wellington he was sleeping

[00:05:23] His bed began to slide

[00:05:27] His valiant heart was beating

[00:05:30] He pushed the tables aside

[00:05:35] Glass of shattered crystal

[00:05:38] Lay scattered roundabout

[00:05:42] He strapped on both his pistols

[00:05:46] How long could he hold out

[00:05:50] His men and his companions

[00:05:54] Were nowhere to be seen

[00:05:58] In silence there he waited for

[00:06:02] Time and space to intervene

[00:06:06] The passageway was narrow

[00:06:09] There was blackness in the air

[00:06:13] He saw every kind of sorrow

[00:06:17] Heard voices everywhere

[00:06:21] Alarm bells were ringing

[00:06:25] To hold back the swelling tide

[00:06:29] Friends and lovers clinging

[00:06:33] To each other side by side

[00:06:37] Mothers and their daughters

[00:06:41] Descending down the stairs

[00:06:45] Jumped into the icy waters

[00:06:48] Love and pity sent their prayers

[00:06:52] The rich man Mister Astor

[00:06:56] Kissed his darling wife

[00:07:00] He had no way of knowing

[00:07:04] It'd be the last trip of his life

[00:07:08] Calvin Blake and Wilson

[00:07:12] Gambled in the dark

[00:07:16] Not one of them would ever live to

[00:07:19] Tell the tale on the disembark

[00:07:24] Brother rose up 'gainst brother

[00:07:27] In every circumstance

[00:07:31] They fought and slaughtered each other

[00:07:35] In a deadly dance

[00:07:39] They lowered down the lifeboats

[00:07:43] From the sinking wreck

[00:07:47] There were traitors there were turncoats

[00:07:50] Broken backs and broken necks

[00:07:55] The bishop left his cabin

[00:07:58] To help others in need

[00:08:02] Turned his eyes up to the heavens

[00:08:06] Said he poor are yours to fee

[00:08:11] Davey the brothel-keeper

[00:08:14] Came out dismissed his girls

[00:08:18] Saw the water getting deeper

[00:08:21] Saw the changing of his world

[00:08:27] Jim Dandy smiled

[00:08:30] He never learned to swim

[00:08:33] Saw the little crippled child

[00:08:37] And he gave his seat to him

[00:08:41] He saw the starlight shining

[00:08:45] Streaming from the East

[00:08:49] Death was on the rampage

[00:08:53] But his heart was now at peace

[00:08:57] They battened down the hatches

[00:09:00] But the hatches wouldn't hold

[00:09:05] They drowned upon the staircase

[00:09:08] Of brass and polished gold

[00:09:13] Leo said to Cleo

[00:09:16] I think I'm going mad

[00:09:20] But he'd lost his mind already

[00:09:24] Whatever mind he had

[00:09:28] He tried to block the doorway

[00:09:32] To save all those from harm

[00:09:36] Blood from an open wound

[00:09:40] Pouring down his arm

[00:09:44] Petals fell from flowers

[00:09:48] Til all of them were gone

[00:09:51] In the long and dreadful hours

[00:09:55] The wizard's curse played on

[00:09:59] The host was pouring brandy

[00:10:03] He was going down slow

[00:10:07] He stayed right to the end and he

[00:10:11] Was the last to go

[00:10:15] There were many many others

[00:10:18] Nameless here forever more

[00:10:22] They never sailed the ocean

[00:10:26] Or left their homes before

[00:10:30] The watchman he lay dreaming

[00:10:34] The damage had been done

[00:10:38] He dreamed the Titanic was sinking

[00:10:42] And he tried to tell someone

[00:11:04] The captain barely breathing

[00:11:07] Kneeling at the wheel

[00:11:11] Above him and beneath him

[00:11:15] Fifty thousand tons of steel

[00:11:19] He looked over at his compass

[00:11:23] And he gazed into its face

[00:11:26] Needle pointing downward

[00:11:31] He knew he lost the race

[00:11:34] In the dark illumination

[00:11:38] He remembered bygone years

[00:11:42] He read the Book of Revelation

[00:11:46] And he filled his cup with tears

[00:11:50] When the Reaper's task had ended

[00:11:54] Sixteen hundred had gone to rest

[00:11:58] The good the bad the rich the poor

[00:12:02] The loveliest and the best

[00:12:06] They waited at the landing

[00:12:09] And they tried to understand

[00:12:13] But there is no understanding

[00:12:17] For the judgement of God's hand

[00:12:20] The news came over the wires

[00:12:25] And struck with deadly force

[00:12:29] Love had lost its fires

[00:12:33] All things had run their course

[00:12:37] The watchman he lay dreaming

[00:12:40] Of all things that can be

[00:12:45] He dreamed the Titanic was sinking

[00:12:53] Into the deep blue sea
