The Mariner's Revenge Song - The Decemberists.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : The Decemberists
[00:09.734]We are two mariners
[00:12.045]Our ship's sole survivors
[00:14.389]In this belly of a whale
[00:19.104]It's ribs are ceiling beams
[00:21.385]It's guts are carpeting
[00:23.941]I guess we have some time to kill
[00:28.715]You may not remember me
[00:30.917]I was a child of three
[00:33.448]And you, a lad of eighteen
[00:38.001]But, I remember you
[00:40.313]And I will relate to you
[00:42.575]How our histories interweave
[00:46.678]At the time you were
[00:49.088]A rake and a roustabout
[00:53.958]Spending all your money
[00:56.408]On the whores and hounds
[01:00.902](oh, oh)
[01:03.722]You had a charming air
[01:05.949]All cheap and debonair
[01:08.306]My widowed mother found so sweet
[01:13.262]And so she took you in
[01:15.615]Her sheets still warm with him
[01:18.020]Now filled with filth and foul disease
[01:22.606]As time wore on you proved
[01:24.828]A debt-ridden drunken mess
[01:29.132]Leaving my mother
[01:31.503]A poor consumptive wretch
[01:36.760](oh, oh)
[01:39.686]And then you disappeared
[01:41.992]Your gambling arrears
[01:44.388]The only thing you left behind
[01:49.009]And then the magistrate
[01:51.513]Reclaimed our small estate
[01:54.079]And my poor mother lost her mind
[01:58.229]Then, one day in spring
[02:00.634]My dear sweet mother died
[02:04.893]But, before she did
[02:06.929]I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
[02:12.448](oh, oh)
[02:14.870]"Find him, find him“
[02:18.310]Tie him to a pole and break
[02:21.195]His fingers to splinters
[02:23.708]Drag him to a hole until he
[02:26.498]Wakes up naked
[02:29.163]Clawing at the ceiling
[02:31.143]Of his grave"
[02:34.217]......
[02:49.524]It took me fifteen years
[02:52.109]To swallow all my tears
[02:54.753]Among the urchins in the street
[03:00.215]Until a priory
[03:02.753]Took pity and hired me
[03:05.519]To keep their vestry nice and neat
[03:10.551]But, never once in the employ
[03:13.404]Of these holy men
[03:18.583]Did I ever, once turn my mind
[03:22.074]From the thought of revenge
[03:26.820](oh, oh)
[03:30.960]One night I overheard
[03:33.495]The prior exchanging words
[03:36.047]With a penitent whaler from the sea
[03:40.806]The captain of his ship
[03:43.027]Who matched you toe to tip
[03:45.538]Was known for wanton cruelty
[03:50.219]The following day
[03:51.714]I shipped to sea
[03:53.154]With a privateer
[03:56.889]And in the whistle
[03:59.432]Of the wind
[04:00.722]I could almost hear
[04:04.669](oh, oh)
[04:07.629]"Find him, find him“
[04:10.876]Tie him to a pole and break
[04:13.801]His fingers to splinters
[04:16.442]Drag him to a hole until he
[04:19.117]Wakes up naked
[04:21.704]Clawing at the ceiling
[04:24.380]Of his grave”
[04:31.414]“There is one thing I must say to you“
[04:37.509]As you sail across the sea
[04:43.529]Always, your mother will watch over you
[04:49.636]As you avenge this wicked deed"
[04:55.873]......
[05:56.998]And then, that fateful night
[05:59.737]We had you in our sight
[06:02.645]After twenty months at sea
[06:07.530]Your starboard flank abeam
[06:10.118]I was getting my muskets clean
[06:12.681]When came this rumbling from beneath
[06:17.462]The ocean shook
[06:19.959]The sky went black
[06:21.967]And the captain quailed
[06:26.451]And before us grew
[06:29.172]The angry jaws
[06:31.532]Of a giant whale
[06:35.525](oh..)
[06:46.883]Don't know how I survived
[06:49.439]The crew all was chewed alive
[06:51.926]I must have slipped between his teeth
[06:57.130]But, oh, what providence
[06:59.647]What divine intelligence
[07:02.471]That you should survive
[07:04.135]As well as me
[07:07.418]It gives my heart great joy
[07:09.892]To see your eyes fill with fear
[07:14.392]To lean in close
[07:16.676]And I will whisper
[07:18.335]The last words you'll hear
[07:22.625](oh, oh)
[07:26.367]......
[08:42.613]
