The Crucifixion (苦难) (Album Version) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]

And the night comes again to[00:00:22]

The circle studded sky[00:00:24]

The stars settle slowly[00:00:29]

In loneliness they lie[00:00:31]

Til the Universe explodes[00:00:35]

As a falling star is raised[00:00:38]

Planets are paralyzed mountains are amazed[00:00:41]

But they all glow brighter[00:00:45]

From the brilliance of the blaze[00:00:47]

With the speed of insanity then He died[00:00:50]

In the green fields a[00:00:55]

Turning baby is born[00:00:57]

His cries crease the wind[00:01:02]

And mingle with the morn[00:01:04]

An assault upon the order[00:01:09]

Changing of the guard[00:01:11]

Chosen for a challenge that[00:01:13]

Is hopelessly hard[00:01:15]

And the only single sound is[00:01:18]

The sighing of the stars[00:01:20]

But to the silence of[00:01:22]

Distance they are sworn[00:01:24]

So dance dance dance[00:01:28]

Teach us to be true[00:01:32]

Come dance dance dance[00:01:35]

Cause we love you[00:01:39]

Images of innocence charge Him go on[00:01:46]

But the decadence of destiny[00:01:52]

Is looking for a pawn[00:01:55]

To a nightmare of knowledge[00:01:59]

He opens up the gate[00:02:01]

Binding revelation is laid[00:02:04]

Upon His plate[00:02:07]

That beneath the greatest[00:02:08]

Love is a hurricane of hate[00:02:10]

And God help the critic of the dawn[00:02:13]

So he stands on the sea and[00:02:19]

He shouts to the shore[00:02:21]

But the louder that He screams[00:02:25]

Longer He's ignored[00:02:28]

For the wine of oblivion is[00:02:32]

Drunk to the dregs[00:02:35]

And the merchants of the[00:02:37]

Masses almost have to be begged[00:02:38]

'Til the giant is aware[00:02:41]

Someone's pulling at His leg[00:02:43]

And someone is tapping at the door[00:02:46]

To dance dance dance[00:02:50]

Teach us to be true[00:02:54]

Come dance dance dance[00:02:57]

Cause we love you[00:03:01]

Then His message gathers meaning[00:03:13]

And it spreads across the land[00:03:15]

The rewarding of His pain is[00:03:19]

The following of the man[00:03:22]

But ignorance is everywhere[00:03:27]

And people have their way[00:03:29]

Success is an enemy to[00:03:31]

The losers of the day[00:03:33]

In the shadows of the churches[00:03:36]

Who knows what they pray[00:03:38]

For blood is the language of the band[00:03:40]

The Spanish bulls are beaten[00:04:00]

The crowd is soon beguiled[00:04:02]

The matador is beautiful[00:04:07]

A symphony of style[00:04:09]

Excitement is ecstatic[00:04:13]

Passion places bets[00:04:16]

Gracefully He bows to[00:04:18]

Ovations that He gets[00:04:20]

But the hands that are[00:04:22]

Applauding are slippery with sweat[00:04:23]

And saliva is falling from their smiles[00:04:26]

So dance dance dance[00:04:32]

Teach us to be true[00:04:36]

Come dance dance dance[00:04:39]

'Cause we love you[00:04:43]

Then this overflow of life[00:04:56]

Is crushed into a liar[00:04:58]

The Gentle Soul is ripped[00:05:03]

Apart and tossed into the fire[00:05:05]

First a smile of rejection[00:05:10]

At the nearness of the night[00:05:12]

Truth becomes a tragedy[00:05:15]

Limping from the light[00:05:16]

All the canons are horrified[00:05:19]

They stagger from the sight[00:05:21]

As the Cross is trembling with desire[00:05:24]

They say they can't believe it[00:05:29]

It's a sacrilegious shame[00:05:31]

Now who would want to hurt[00:05:36]

Such a Hero of the game[00:05:38]

But you know I predicted it[00:05:43]

I knew He had to fall[00:05:45]

How did it happen[00:05:48]

I hope His suffering was small[00:05:49]

Tell me every detail[00:05:52]

I've got to know it all[00:05:54]

And do you have a picture of the pain[00:05:56]

So dance dance dance[00:06:02]

Teach us to be true[00:06:06]

Come dance dance dance[00:06:09]

'Cause we love you[00:06:13]

Time takes her toll and memory fades[00:06:17]

But His glory is broken[00:06:24]

In magic that He made[00:06:26]

Reality is ruined[00:06:31]

It's the freeing from the fear[00:06:33]

Drama is distorted[00:06:35]

What they want to hear[00:06:38]

Swimming in their sorrow[00:06:40]

In the twisting of a tear[00:06:42]

As they wait for a new thrill parade[00:06:44]

Yes the eyes of the rebel[00:06:50]

Have been branded by the blind[00:06:52]

To the safety of sterility[00:06:56]

The threat has been refined[00:06:58]

The child was created[00:07:04]

To the slaughterhouse he's led[00:07:06]

So good to be alive when the eulogy is read[00:07:08]

Climax of emotion the worship of the dead[00:07:13]

And the cycle of sacrifice unwinds[00:07:17]

So dance dance dance[00:07:24]

Teach us to be true[00:07:27]

Come dance dance dance[00:07:30]

'Cause we love you[00:07:35]

And the night comes again[00:07:41]

To the circle studded sky[00:07:43]

The stars settle slowly[00:07:48]

In loneliness they lie[00:07:50]

'Till the universe explodes[00:07:54]

As a falling star is raised[00:07:57]

Planets are paralyzed mountains are amazed[00:07:59]

But they all glow brighter[00:08:03]

From the brilliance of the blaze[00:08:05]

With the speed of insanity then He died[00:08:08]
