[00:00.000] 作曲 : Peter Hammill
[03:10.730]Stub towers in the distance
[03:13.437]Riders cross the blasted moor
[03:18.734]Against the horizon
[03:28.475]Fickle promises of treaty
[03:30.649]Fatal harbingers of war, futile orisons
[03:45.194]Swirl as one in this flight, this mad chase
[03:54.968]This surge across the marshy mud landscape
[04:01.225]Until the meaning is forgotten
[04:08.189]Hood masks the eager face, skin stretched and sallow
[04:16.949]Headlong into the chilling night, as swift as any Arrow
[04:25.643]Feet against the flagstones
[04:27.613]Fingers scrabbling at the lock
[04:32.049]Craving protection
[04:39.112]'Sanctuary!' croaks a voice
[04:41.008]Half-strangled by the shock of its rejection
[04:52.581]Shot the bolt in the wall, rusted the key;
[05:00.835]Now the echoes of all frightful memory
[05:06.086]Intrude in the silence
[05:10.261]What a crawl against the slope - dark loom the gallows
[05:18.468]One touch to the chapel door, how swiftly comes the arrow
[06:10.608]"Compassion", you plead
[06:12.359]As though they kept it in a box, hah!
[06:16.307]Well, that's long since been empty
[06:21.827]I'd like to help you somehow
[06:23.813]But I'm in the self-same spot:
[06:27.752]Oh my condition exempts me
[06:33.435]We are all on the run, on our knees;
[06:41.431]The sundial draws a line upon eternity
[06:46.696]Across every number
[06:52.869]How long the time seems, how dark the shadow
[07:00.058]Oh, how straight the eagle flies, how straight towards his Arrow
[07:08.839]How long the night is - why is this passage so narrow?
[07:16.852]How strange my body feels, impaled upon the Arrow
