The Night Watch

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]
