Slouching Towards Bethlehem歌词

[00:26.61]Turning and turning within the widening gyre
[00:34.17]
[00:36.16]The falcon cannot hear the falconer
[00:40.29]
[00:43.17]Things fall apart, the center cannot hold
[00:50.73]
[00:51.92]And a blood dimmed tide is loosed upon the world
[00:57.17]
[00:59.42]Nothing is sacred, the ceremony sinks
[01:09.48]
[01:12.49]Innocence is drowned in anarchy
[01:16.92]
[01:18.80]The best lack conviction
[01:20.55]
[01:24.99]Given some time to think
[01:26.92]
[01:28.55]And the worst are full
[01:30.17]Of passion without mercy
[01:32.05]
[01:38.61]Surely some revelation is at hand
[01:41.42]
[01:44.11]Surely it's the second coming
[01:46.05]And the wrath has finally taken form
[01:48.49]
[01:49.67]For what is this rough beast
[01:51.43]
[01:52.43]It's hour come at last
[01:54.17]
[01:57.99]Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[02:01.36]
[02:03.55]Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[02:07.11]
[02:11.43]Oh oh yeah
[02:17.01]To be born, oh oh oh yeah
[02:31.80]Hoping and hoping as if by my weak faith
[02:38.61]
[02:40.92]The spirit of this world would heal and rise
[02:45.49]
[02:48.05]Vast are the shadows that straddle and strafe
[02:55.62]
[02:56.36]And struggle in the darkness troubling my eyes
[03:02.24]
[03:07.49]Shaped like a lion, it has the head of a man
[03:14.93]
[03:16.93]With a gaze as blank and pitiless as the sun
[03:21.55]
[03:24.05]And it's moving its slow
[03:26.18]
[03:27.56]Thighs across the desert sands
[03:31.24]
[03:33.68]Through dark indignant, reeling falcons
[03:39.06]
[03:43.62]Surely some revelation is at hand
[03:47.31]
[03:49.18]Surely it's the second coming
[03:51.12]And the wrath has finally taken form
[03:53.24]
[03:54.49]For what is this rough beast
[03:56.43]
[03:57.43]It's hour come at last
[03:59.25]
[04:02.99]Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[04:06.50]
[04:08.56]Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[04:11.87]
[04:16.30]Oh oh yeah
[04:20.00]
[04:21.87]To be born, hey Bethlehem, shape of a lion
[04:31.82]
[04:36.43]Raging and raging, it rises from the deep
[04:43.44]
[04:44.94]Opening its eyes after twenty centuries
[04:50.31]
[04:53.19]Vexed to a nightmare, out of a stony sleep
[05:00.19]
[05:02.50]By a rocking cradle, by the sea of Galilee
[05:06.63]
[05:12.50]Surely some revelation is at hand
[05:16.44]
[05:18.19]Surely it's the second coming
[05:20.25]And the wrath has finally taken form
[05:22.44]
[05:23.56]For what is this rough beast
[05:25.69]It's hour come at last
[05:28.19]
[05:30.44]Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[05:35.07]
[05:37.44]Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born
[05:40.19]
[05:45.44]Oh oh yeah
[05:49.32]
[05:50.75]To be born, hey Bethlehem
[05:59.12]
[05:59.86]Shape of a lion, oh oh
[06:11.20]Just the shape of a lion, oh oh
[06:17.20]
[06:17.95]Hey Bethlehem, shape of a lion
