时长: 06:52
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land[00:02:21]
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:[00:02:26]
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers'[00:02:31]
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking[00:02:35]
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise[00:02:45]
In his youth or a dream' he can't be precise[00:02:50]
He's chained forever to a world that's departed[00:02:56]
It's not enough' it's not enough[00:03:00]
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright[00:03:30]
His knees have trembled & given way in the night[00:03:35]
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth[00:03:40]
His step has faltered[00:03:45]
One world' one soul[00:03:56]
Time pass' the river rolls[00:04:05]
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication[00:05:15]
And silent replies that swirl invitation[00:05:20]
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea[00:05:24]
A grim intimation of what is to be[00:05:30]
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night[00:05:39]
And there's dust in my eyes' that blinds my sight[00:05:45]
And silence that speaks so much louder than words'[00:05:50]
Of promises broken[00:05:55]
