The Seer (先知) (Live At Hammersmith Odeon / 1989) - Big Country (大乡野合唱团)[00:00:00]
Long ago I heard a tale[00:01:15]
I never will forget[00:01:17]
The time was in the telling[00:01:18]
On the bank the scene was set[00:01:20]
The sky was rolling blindly on[00:01:22]
The daylight had not gone[00:01:24]
She washed her hair among the stones[00:01:26]
And saw what was to come[00:01:28]
All this will pass[00:01:33]
There will be blood among the corn[00:01:37]
And heroes in the hills[00:01:39]
But there is more to come my boy[00:01:41]
Before you've had your fill[00:01:43]
Men will come and rape the sail[00:01:45]
As though it were their own[00:01:46]
And they will bathe their feet in oil[00:01:48]
As I have bathed my own[00:01:50]
All this will pass[00:01:55]
All things must come[00:01:59]
Just as I tell you here[00:02:02]
Stones will stand together[00:02:07]
As if searching for the stars[00:02:08]
And all come crashing down again[00:02:11]
Before they reach too far[00:02:12]
She turned to face the setting sun[00:02:14]
I turned to walk away[00:02:16]
But then she called my name again[00:02:18]
And beckoned me to stay[00:02:20]
All this will pass[00:02:24]
All things must come[00:02:28]
Just as I tell you here[00:02:32]
She told me of the famous sons[00:02:36]
Who write their names in peace[00:02:38]
Yet be cut down before the time[00:02:40]
Has come for our release[00:02:42]
Just as I tell you here[00:02:47]
Even now[00:02:51]
I wait for the coming day[00:02:53]
Even now[00:02:58]
She waits in the dawn[00:03:01]
For the tales she tells[00:03:05]
For the gifts that she will sell[00:03:09]
For the sight she knows[00:03:12]
For a vision that still grows[00:03:16]
With the dream in her eyes no one's seen[00:03:20]
I listened for so long that day[00:04:04]
That I can hardly tell[00:04:06]
If what she said was heaven sent[00:04:07]
Or brought to bear in hell[00:04:09]
That men of hope would stand alone[00:04:11]
And still be cast a lie[00:04:13]
Just as Romans cast them[00:04:15]
On the day they were to die[00:04:16]
All this will pass[00:04:21]
All things must come[00:04:25]
Just as I tell you here[00:04:29]
There is more of what she told[00:04:33]
Much better left alone[00:04:35]
For who are we to question her[00:04:37]
Who stands among the stones[00:04:38]
Just as I tell you here[00:04:43]
Even now[00:04:48]
I wait for the coming day[00:04:50]
Even now[00:04:55]
She waits in the dawn[00:04:57]
For the tales she tells[00:05:02]
For the gifts that she will sell[00:05:05]
For the sight she knows[00:05:09]
For a vision that still grows[00:05:13]
With the dream in her eyes no one's seen[00:05:16]
