The Grave (坟墓) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)[00:00:00]

The grave that they dug him had flowers[00:00:00]

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours[00:00:06]

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone[00:00:11]

He's gone[00:00:16]

When the wars of our nation did beckon[00:00:28]

A man barely twenty did answer the calling[00:00:33]

Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation[00:00:38]

He's gone[00:00:42]

But eternity knows him[00:00:45]

And it knows what we've done[00:00:48]

And the rain fell like pearls[00:00:55]

On the leaves of the flowers[00:00:58]

Leaving brown muddy clay[00:01:02]

Where the earth had been dry[00:01:05]

And deep in the trench[00:01:09]

He waited for hours[00:01:12]

As he held to his rifle[00:01:15]

And prayed not to die[00:01:19]

But the silence of night[00:01:23]

Was shattered by fire[00:01:26]

As guns and grenades[00:01:29]

Blasted sharp through the air[00:01:31]

One after another[00:01:36]

His comrades were slaughtered[00:01:38]

In morgue of marines[00:01:42]

Alone standing there[00:01:45]

He crouched ever lower[00:01:49]

Ever lower with fear[00:01:51]

They can't let me die[00:01:54]

They can't let me die here[00:01:57]

I'll cover myself[00:02:00]

With the mud and the earth[00:02:03]

I'll cover myself[00:02:06]

I know I'm not brave[00:02:09]

The earth[00:02:12]

The earth[00:02:14]

The earth is my grave[00:02:15]

The grave that they dug him had flowers[00:02:49]

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours[00:02:54]

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone[00:03:00]

He's gone[00:03:07]
