《That Beautiful Word》歌词

[00:00:00] That Beautiful Word - Kristian Hoffman

[00:00:01] Written by：Kristian Hoffman

[00:00:22] When we opened the basement the battered

[00:00:25] Cadaver looked brittle and small

[00:00:29] Not a world weary gumshoe

[00:00:31] Could say what occurred

[00:00:37] Then it blinked and it coughed and it sputtered

[00:00:40] It wasn't quite dead after all

[00:00:44] It was only the shell of that beautiful word

[00:00:51] There was talk of unsavory methods and

[00:00:55] Wills that were broken and crushed

[00:00:59] But it seemed so alarmist and vague and absurd

[00:01:06] Till the grim light of dawn hit this

[00:01:08] Vessel whose own very soul had been hushed

[00:01:13] Tell me what have we have done

[00:01:15] To that beautiful word

[00:01:20] That beautiful word fell like the sky

[00:01:25] What kind of lullaby

[00:01:29] Turns love into a lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

[00:01:35] Say haven't you heard Letters this

[00:01:39] High spell out the reason why

[00:01:44] Lie lie lie lie lie

[00:01:54] First we drugged it with bald self

[00:01:56] Importance then rented it out like a whore

[00:02:01] Fire and brimstone was always the payment preferred

[00:02:08] When it lay down with power and

[00:02:10] Religion it couldn't get up anymore

[00:02:16] That's the way that we crippled that beautiful word

[00:02:23] That beautiful word fell like the sky

[00:02:27] What kind of lullaby

[00:02:32] Turns love into a lie lie lie

[00:02:35] Lie lie lie lie lie lie

[00:02:38] Say haven't you heard letters this

[00:02:41] High spell out the reason why

[00:02:47] Lie lie lie lie lie

[00:02:53] I can't even remember

[00:02:56] How it came to be cursed

[00:03:00] But whatever the meaning

[00:03:04] Now it means the reverse

[00:03:07] We used alchemy backwards

[00:03:11] To make lead out of gold

[00:03:14] Now this quivering cipher

[00:03:18] Does whatever it's told

[00:03:42] We learned nothing from interrogation

[00:03:45] But how turn faith into frost

[00:03:49] Now not even the glow of a cigarette stirred

[00:03:57] Fear came on little rat feet too late

[00:03:59] And our own were the voices we lost

[00:04:04] Like the orphan we made of that beautiful word

[00:04:25] That beautiful word fell like the sky

[00:04:29] What kind of lullaby

[00:04:33] Turns love into a lie lie lie lie lie lie lie

[00:04:39] Say haven't you heard Letters this

[00:04:43] High spell out the reason why

[00:04:48] Lie lie lie lie lie

[00:05:08] That beautiful word fell like the sky
