《Anthem For Doomed Youth(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Anthem For Doomed Youth (LP版) - 10000 Maniacs

[00:00:13] For whom do the bells

[00:00:14] Toll when sentenced to die

[00:00:16] The stuttering rifles

[00:00:18] Will stifle the cry

[00:00:19] The monstrous anger

[00:00:21] The fear's rapid rattle

[00:00:23] Desert inferno

[00:00:24] Kids dying like cattle

[00:00:32] Don't tell me we're not prepared

[00:00:35] I've seen today's morning

[00:00:38] He's eighteen

[00:00:39] And he's eager

[00:00:42] He can be quite mean

[00:00:45] No mockeries for them

[00:00:46] No prayers or bells

[00:00:48] The demented choirs

[00:00:50] The wailing of shells

[00:00:51] The boys holding candles

[00:00:53] On untraveled roads

[00:00:55] Spreads fear like fire

[00:00:56] Shrapnel explodes

[00:01:04] I think it's wrong to conscript our youth

[00:01:07] Against their will

[00:01:10] When plenty of our citizenry

[00:01:14] Really like to kill

[00:01:57] What signposts will lead to armageddon's fires

[00:02:00] What bugles will call them

[00:02:01] From crowded gray shires

[00:02:03] The women sit quiet

[00:02:05] With death on their minds

[00:02:06] A slow dusk descending

[00:02:08] The drawing of blinds

[00:02:15] Make the hunters all line up

[00:02:19] It's their idea of fun

[00:02:21] And let those be forgiven

[00:02:24] Who never owned a gun

[00:02:29] Was it him or me

[00:02:31] Or the

[00:02:31] Wailing of the dead

[00:02:34] The laughing soldiers

[00:02:36] Cast their lots

[00:02:37] You can

[00:02:39] Cut the dread
