《Angel of Death 1839》歌词

[00:00:01] Angel Of Death 1839 - The Crown

[00:00:12] Your children Adam's of earth forgotten

[00:00:16] Who unto earth shall again return

[00:00:21] You are my own be it not forgotten

[00:00:23] I am the penalty sin did earn

[00:00:26] O man time's guest

[00:00:27] With my grasp I reach thee

[00:00:28] From east to west

[00:00:29] And by voices teach thee

[00:00:30] With scripture's word in the master's name

[00:00:33] From air and water earth and flame

[00:00:35] You build and dwell

[00:00:36] Like the sparrows building

[00:00:37] In sunny summer

[00:00:38] Their fragile nest

[00:00:40] Securely feeling

[00:00:41] In shady shielding

[00:00:42] They sing so joyful in happy rest

[00:00:44] But sudden gust

[00:00:45] Of the tempest shatters

[00:00:47] The tiny crust

[00:00:48] Of their nest in tatters

[00:00:49] The merry song

[00:00:50] Heard so short before

[00:00:51] With grief is silenced forevermore

[00:00:54] Like pigeons

[00:00:55] Coming in anxious calling

[00:00:56] You sigh for morn

[00:00:57] With today not through

[00:00:58] When unbethought

[00:00:59] Like a trap door falling

[00:01:01] The earth unlocked itself for you

[00:01:03] You disappear

[00:01:04] Where no light is nearing

[00:01:05] Soon memory dear

[00:01:06] Is no more endearing

[00:01:08] And new lit moon

[00:01:09] From it's silvered sky

[00:01:10] Again sees others arrive and fly

[00:01:12] In circling dances so lightly swinging

[00:01:15] You follow wildly amusement's thread

[00:01:17] With myrtle blooming and music ringing

[00:01:19] But solemn I on the threshold tread

[00:01:22] The dance is shocked

[00:01:23] And the clang is wailing

[00:01:24] The wreath is wrecked

[00:01:25] And the bride is paling

[00:01:27] The end of splendor

[00:01:28] And joy and might

[00:01:29] Is only sorrow

[00:01:30] Tears and blight

[00:01:31] I am the mighty

[00:01:32] Who has the power

[00:01:33] Till yet a mightier shall appear

[00:01:36] In deepest pit

[00:01:37] On the highest tower

[00:01:38] My chilling spirit is ever near

[00:01:41] Those plagues of night

[00:01:42] And of desolation

[00:01:43] Whose breath of blight

[00:01:44] May annul a nation

[00:01:45] They slay the victims

[00:01:46] Which I select

[00:01:47] Whom shield and armor

[00:01:49] Cannot protect

[00:01:50] I wrap the wing round

[00:01:51] The polar tempest

[00:01:52] And calm the waves

[00:01:53] Ere they reach the strand

[00:01:55] I crush the schemes

[00:01:56] On dynastic conquest

[00:01:57] And wrench the club

[00:01:58] From the tyrant's hand

[00:01:59] I erase chase

[00:02:00] Like the hour just passing

[00:02:02] And race on race

[00:02:03] With their works amassing

[00:02:04] Like heaving waves

[00:02:05] In my footsteps flow

[00:02:06] Till last no ripples

[00:02:07] Their murmur show

[00:02:09] 'Gainst me in vain

[00:02:10] Are you wit and letters

[00:02:11] 'Gainst me nor weapons

[00:02:12] Nor arts prevail

[00:02:13] I freedom give to the slave in letters

[00:02:16] His ruler's will I in irons nail

[00:02:18] I lead the battle

[00:02:19] And armies tumble

[00:02:20] Like slaughtered cattle

[00:02:21] While cannons rumble

[00:02:23] And never rise from their sudden fall

[00:02:25] Until alarmed by the judgment call

[00:02:27] I wave my hand and

[00:02:29] With whirlwinds sweeping

[00:02:30] All life on earth to that place doth fly

[00:02:32] Where not a sound to the ear is creeping

[00:02:35] Where not a tongue moves to make reply

[00:02:37] My foot meanders

[00:02:38] And kings and heroes

[00:02:39] And princes lofty in might and lust

[00:02:41] Are all transformed to a handful dust

[00:02:44] Then search with rigor

[00:02:45] Your mind's desire

[00:02:46] Then probe in terror

[00:02:47] Your soul's intent

[00:02:48] With hands and hearts

[00:02:50] Clean and pure aspire

[00:02:51] To him who knows what

[00:02:52] Within you meant

[00:02:53] Yet thither mortals

[00:02:54] Your way is wending

[00:02:55] Where on the portals

[00:02:57] Till time be ending

[00:02:58] There stands this sentence

[00:02:59] Without reprieve

[00:03:00] Here all shall enter

[00:03:01] And none shall leave

[00:03:03] Then wiped away

[00:03:04] Are all tears forever

[00:03:05] All wounds removed

[00:03:06] By the healing hand

[00:03:07] And midst corpses and heirs I never

[00:03:09] With torch inverted

[00:03:11] And quenched shall stand

[00:03:12] In darkness rife

[00:03:13] But the torch upturning

[00:03:14] By flames of life

[00:03:15] I restore its burning

[00:03:17] And the Seraphic

[00:03:18] With you unite

[00:03:19] In songs of praise

[00:03:20] At the throne of light

[00:03:23] Die
