《A Church Is Burning(Alternate Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] A Church Is Burning (Alternate Version) - Paul Simon (保罗·西蒙)

[00:00:13] A church is burning

[00:00:19] The flames rise higher

[00:00:23] Like hands that are praying

[00:00:26] They grow in the sky

[00:00:30] Like hands that are praying

[00:00:31] The fire ascends

[00:00:33] You can burn down my churches

[00:00:36] But I shall be free

[00:00:42] Three hooded men through the back roads did creep

[00:00:45] Torches in their hands while the village lies asleep

[00:00:49] Down to the church where just hours before

[00:00:53] Voices were singing and

[00:00:55] Hands were meeting and

[00:00:57] Saying "I won't be a slave anymore"

[00:01:02] A church is burning

[00:01:08] The flames rise higher

[00:01:12] Like hands that are praying

[00:01:15] They glow in the sky

[00:01:18] Like hands that are praying

[00:01:20] The fire ascends

[00:01:22] You can burn down my churches

[00:01:24] But I shall be free

[00:01:30] Three hooded men their hands lit the spark

[00:01:33] And they faded in the night they vanished in the dark

[00:01:37] And in the cold light of morning there was nothing that remained

[00:01:41] But the ashes of a Bible and a can of kerosene

[00:01:46] A church is burning

[00:01:52] The flames rise higher

[00:01:56] Like hands that are praying

[00:01:59] They glow in the sky

[00:02:02] Like hands that are prayin'

[00:02:04] The fire ascends

[00:02:06] You can burn down my churches

[00:02:08] But I shall be free

[00:02:14] A church is more than just timber and stone

[00:02:18] And freedom is a dark road when you're walking it alone

[00:02:22] But the future is now and it's time to take a stand

[00:02:26] So the lost bells of freedom can ring out in my land

[00:02:31] A church is burning

[00:02:37] The flames rise higher

[00:02:41] Like hands that are praying

[00:02:44] They glow in the sky

[00:02:47] Like hands that are praying

[00:02:49] The fire ascends

[00:02:51] You can burn down my churches

[00:02:55] But I shall be free
