The Seventh Seal - Scott Walker (斯考特·沃克)[00:00:00]
Anybody seen a knight pass this way[00:00:14]
I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday[00:00:21]
His crusade was a search for God and they say[00:00:29]
It's been a along way to carry on[00:00:35]
Anybody hear of plague in this town[00:00:46]
The town I've left behind was burned to the ground[00:00:52]
A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried[00:00:59]
I'm not a witch God knows my name[00:01:07]
The knight he watched with fear[00:01:13]
He needed to know[00:01:17]
He ran where he might feel God's breath[00:01:20]
And in the misty church[00:01:27]
He knelt to confess[00:01:30]
The face within the booth was Mr Death[00:01:34]
My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless smiles[00:01:45]
Why can't God touch me with a sign[00:01:52]
Perhaps there's no one there answered the booth[00:01:59]
And Death hid within his cloak and smiled[00:02:06]
This morning I played chess with Death said the knight[00:02:13]
We played that he might grant me time[00:02:19]
My bishop and my knight will shatter his flanks[00:02:27]
And still I might feel God's heart in mine[00:02:33]
And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard[00:02:41]
The knight cried No you've cheated me [00:02:47]
But still I'll find a way[00:02:54]
We'll meet once again and once again[00:02:57]
Continue to play[00:03:03]
They met within the woods the knight his squire and friends[00:03:12]
And Death said now the game shall end[00:03:19]
The final move was made[00:03:26]
The knight hung his head[00:03:28]
And said you've won I've nothing left to play[00:03:32]
The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love[00:03:40]
To look against the stormy sky[00:03:46]
The knight his squire and friends[00:03:53]
Their hands held as one[00:03:56]
Solemnly danced toward the dawn[00:04:00]
His hourglass in his hand his scythe by his side[00:04:07]
The master Death he leads them on[00:04:14]
The rain will wash away the tears from their faces[00:04:21]
And as the thunder cracked they were gone[00:04:28]
