《The Hand that Signed the Paper》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hand that Signed the Paper - Richard Burton

[00:00:01] The hand that signed the paper felled a city;

[00:00:05] Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath

[00:00:09] Doubled the globe of

[00:00:10] Dead and halved a country;

[00:00:13] These five kings did a king to death

[00:00:18] The mighty hand leads to a sloping shoulder

[00:00:21] The finger joints are cramped with chalk;

[00:00:24] A goose's quill has put an end to murder

[00:00:28] That put an end to talk

[00:00:32] The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever

[00:00:35] And famine grew and locusts came;

[00:00:38] Great is the hand that holds dominion over

[00:00:41] Man by a scribbled name

[00:00:45] The five kings count the dead but do not soften

[00:00:48] The crusted wound nor pat the brow;

[00:00:54] A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;

[00:00:58] Hands have no tears to flow
