The Mariner's Revenge Song - The Decemberists (十二月党)[00:00:00]

We are two mariners[00:01:43]

Our ship's sole survivors[00:01:45]

In this belly of a whale[00:01:47]

It's ribs are ceiling beams[00:01:52]

It's guts are carpeting[00:01:54]

I guess we have some time to kill[00:01:56]

You may not remember me[00:02:01]

I was a child of three[00:02:03]

And you a lad of eighteen[00:02:05]

But I remember you[00:02:10]

And I will relate to you[00:02:12]

How our histories interweave[00:02:14]

At the time you were[00:02:18]

A rake and a roustabout[00:02:20]

Spending all your money[00:02:25]

On the whores and hounds[00:02:27]

Oh oh[00:02:31]

You had a charming air[00:02:34]

All cheap and debonair[00:02:36]

My widowed mother found so sweet[00:02:38]

So she took you in[00:02:43]

Her sheets still warm with him[00:02:45]

Now filled with filth and foul disease[00:02:47]

As time wore on you proved[00:02:50]

A debt ridden drunken mess[00:02:53]

Leaving my mother[00:02:57]

A poor consumptive wretch[00:02:59]

Oh oh[00:03:04]

And then you disappeared[00:03:07]

Your gambling arrears[00:03:09]

The only thing you left behind[00:03:11]

And then the magistrate[00:03:15]

Reclaimed our small estate[00:03:18]

And my poor mother lost her mind[00:03:20]

Then one day in spring[00:03:24]

My dear sweet mother died[00:03:26]

But before she did[00:03:30]

I took her hand as she dying cried[00:03:32]

Oh oh[00:03:37]

Find him find him[00:03:41]

Tie him to a pole and break[00:03:43]

His fingers to splinters[00:03:45]

Drag him to a hole until he[00:03:48]

Wakes up naked[00:03:50]

Clawing at the ceiling[00:03:53]

Of his grave[00:03:55]

It took me fifteen years[00:04:17]

To swallow all my tears[00:04:19]

Among the urchins in the street[00:04:21]

Until a priory[00:04:26]

Took pity and hired me[00:04:28]

To keep their vestry nice and neat[00:04:30]

But never once in the employ[00:04:35]

Of these holy men[00:04:39]

Did I ever once turn my mind[00:04:49]

From the thought of revenge[00:04:52]

Oh oh[00:04:56]

One night I overheard[00:05:02]

The prior exchanging words[00:05:03]

With a penitent whaler from the sea[00:05:06]

The captain of his ship[00:05:10]

Who matched you toe to tip[00:05:12]

Was known for one cruel deed[00:05:14]

The following day[00:05:17]

I shipped to sea[00:05:19]

With a privateer[00:05:20]

And in the whistle[00:05:24]

Of the wind[00:05:25]

I could almost hear[00:05:27]

Oh oh[00:05:31]

Find him find him[00:05:35]

Tie him to a pole and break[00:05:37]

His fingers to splinters[00:05:39]

Drag him to a hole until he[00:05:42]

Wakes up naked[00:05:45]

Clawing at the ceiling[00:05:47]

Of his grave[00:05:49]

There is just one thing I must say to you[00:06:00]

As you sail across the sea[00:06:07]

Always your mother will watch over you[00:06:12]

As you avenge this wicked deed[00:06:18]

And then that fateful night[00:07:23]

We had you in our sight[00:07:25]

After twenty months it seemed[00:07:28]

Your starboard flank abeam[00:07:32]

I was getting my muskets clean[00:07:34]

When came this rumbling from beneath[00:07:36]

The ocean shook[00:07:47]

The sky went black[00:07:48]

And the captain quailed[00:07:50]

And before us grew[00:07:55]

The angry jaws[00:07:57]

Of a giant a whale[00:07:59]

Don't know how I survived[00:08:44]

The crew all was chewed alive[00:08:49]

I must have slipped between his teeth[00:08:54]

But oh what providence[00:08:58]

What divine intelligence[00:09:01]

You should survive[00:09:04]

As well as me[00:09:04]

It gives my eye great joy[00:09:07]

To see your eyes fill with fear[00:09:09]

To lean in close[00:09:14]

And I will whisper[00:09:15]

The last words you'll hear[00:09:16]

Oh oh[00:09:21]
