The Night Watch - King Crimson (金·克瑞森)[00:00:00]
Shine shine the light of good works shine[00:01:25]
The watch before the city gates depicted in their prime[00:01:35]
That golden light all grimy now[00:01:45]
Three hundred years have passed[00:01:50]
The worthy Captain and his squad of troopers standing fast[00:01:53]
The artist knew their faces well[00:02:07]
Husbands of his lady friends[00:02:10]
His creditors and councillors[00:02:12]
In armour bright the merchant men[00:02:14]
Official moments of the guild[00:02:16]
In poses keen from bygone days[00:02:18]
City fathers frozen there[00:02:20]
Upon the canvas dark with age[00:02:22]
The smell of paint a flask of wine[00:02:32]
And turn those faces all to me[00:02:34]
Blunderbuss and halberd-shaft[00:02:36]
And dutch respectability[00:02:38]
They make their entrance one by one[00:02:40]
Defenders of that way of life[00:02:42]
Redbrick home the bourgeoisie[00:02:45]
And guitar lessons for the wife[00:02:46]
So many years we suffered here[00:03:37]
Our country racked with Spanish wars[00:03:39]
Now comes a chance to find ourselves[00:03:41]
Quiet reigns behind our doors[00:03:43]
Think about posterity again[00:03:45]
So the pride of little men[00:04:20]
The burghers good and true[00:04:24]
Still living through the painter's hands[00:04:26]
Request you all to understand[00:04:29]
