《Battle Hymns》歌词

[00:00:00] Battle Hymns - The Nightwatchman

[00:00:00] Battle hymns for the broken

[00:00:03] Battle hymns for the misled

[00:00:07] Battle hymns for the wretched

[00:00:10] The forgotten and the dead

[00:00:13] Battle hymns of redemption

[00:00:16] Of solidarity and pride

[00:00:19] Battle hymns we will be singing

[00:00:22] At the turning of the tide

[00:00:38] Can you explain to the mothers

[00:00:41] And the fathers of those

[00:00:44] Who come riding home in coffins

[00:00:47] In their military clothes

[00:00:50] Shiny medals pinned

[00:00:52] To their dead teenage chests

[00:00:55] While the trumpets blare

[00:00:58] And you lie your best

[00:01:01] So ask all you want

[00:01:04] From the dusk til the dawn

[00:01:07] The answer's still no

[00:01:10] Cause brother I'm gone

[00:01:13] Battle hymns for the broken

[00:01:16] Battle hymns for the misled

[00:01:19] Battle hymns for the wretched

[00:01:22] The forgotten and the dead

[00:01:24] Battle hymns of redemption

[00:01:27] Of solidarity and pride

[00:01:31] Battle hymns we will be singing

[00:01:33] At the turning of the tide

[00:01:42] Can you explain away the sleight of hand

[00:01:45] And the criminality

[00:01:48] Of spending souls for oil

[00:01:51] Well in the mirror I can see

[00:01:54] I am the path that leads down

[00:01:56] I am a dark and bloody hall

[00:02:00] I'm the reaper executioner

[00:02:02] Hangman judge and the law

[00:02:05] So tie a yellow ribbon

[00:02:08] Round the oak tree on the lawn

[00:02:11] But the cavalry's not comin'

[00:02:14] Cause brother they're gone

[00:02:16] Battle hymns for the broken

[00:02:19] Battle hymns for the misled

[00:02:22] Battle hymns for the wretched

[00:02:25] The forgotten and the dead

[00:02:28] Battle hymns of redemption

[00:02:31] Of solidarity and pride

[00:02:34] Battle hymns we will be singing

[00:02:37] At the turning of the tide

[00:02:45] So I'm sharpening my shovel

[00:02:48] I'm firing the kiln

[00:02:51] I'm blind and I am purposeful

[00:02:54] A martyr on the hill

[00:02:57] The dream you might be dreaming

[00:02:59] Might be someone else's dream tonight

[00:03:03] I'm the whisperer of misgivings

[00:03:05] I'm the fading tail light

[00:03:08] I'm the call for retribution

[00:03:11] From the back of the smoke filled hall

[00:03:14] I'm the vow of bitterness

[00:03:16] I'm the poison in the well

[00:03:19] I've a photographic memory

[00:03:22] Of the deeds I will avenge

[00:03:25] I'm the cold in the river hollow

[00:03:27] I've a hatpin I've a plan

[00:03:30] I don't care of cause or consequence

[00:03:33] Head shaved and body lean

[00:03:35] I'm the go-getter the score settler

[00:03:38] I'm the shadow on the green

[00:03:41] There's a flock of blackbirds flying

[00:03:43] Nearly ten thousand strong

[00:03:47] Who set off this morning

[00:03:49] And brother they're gone

[00:03:52] Battle hymns for the broken

[00:03:55] Battle hymns for the misled

[00:03:58] Battle hymns for the wretched

[00:04:01] The forgotten for the dead

[00:04:03] Battle hymns of redemption

[00:04:06] Of solidarity and pride

[00:04:09] Battle hymns we will be singing

[00:04:12] At the turning of the tide
