《Jack’s Lament》歌词

时长： 03:14

There are few who'd deny at what I do I am the best[00:00:15]

For my talents are renowned far and wide[00:00:19]

When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night[00:00:24]

I excel without ever even trying[00:00:28]

With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms[00:00:33]

I have seen grown men give out a shriek[00:00:37]

With the wave of my hand and a well-placed moan[00:00:41]

I have swept the very bravest off their feet[00:00:45]

Yet year after year it's the same old cheer[00:00:50]

And I grow so weary of the sound of screams[00:00:55]

And I Jack the Pumpkin King[00:01:00]

Have grown so tired of the same old thing[00:01:05]

Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones[00:01:12]

An emptiness began to grow[00:01:18]

There's something out there far from my home[00:01:24]

A longing that I've never known[00:01:30]

I'm a master of fright and a demon of light[00:01:40]

And I'll scare you right out of your pants[00:01:44]

To a guy in Kentucky I'm Mister Unlucky[00:01:48]

And I'm known throughout England and France[00:01:53]

And since I am dead I can take off my head[00:01:57]

To recite Shakespearean quotations[00:02:01]

No animal nor man can scream like I can[00:02:06]

With the fury of my recitations[00:02:10]

But who here would ever understand[00:02:15]

That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin[00:02:20]

Would tire of his crown if they only understood[00:02:25]

He'd give it all up if he only could[00:02:30]

Oh there's an empty place in my bones[00:02:37]

That calls out for something unknown[00:02:43]

The fame and praise come year after year[00:02:49]

Does nothing for these empty tears[00:02:55]
