Song | The Curse of the Great |
Artist | Cryptopsy |
Album | Once Was Not |
作词 : Cryptopsy, Levasseur ... | |
Das ist der fluch der mÃ'�chtigen | |
Let us settle with swords | |
The affairs of men: | |
Violence is the answer: | |
Â'�Sis im blutÂ'�... Eisblut! | |
In this soiled world | |
We see aspects of damnation | |
On the faces of the killed | |
Instead of gratitude | |
This psychology may seem | |
A bit baroque at first | |
But what a boon it be | |
When the demons come | |
With time and telling, memory dulls | |
Of rotting boys with empty skulls: | |
All sons of ares, sons of mars | |
Whose flesh be worms, whose souls be stars | |
Myriads of combat corpses | |
The eggshell skeletons of men | |
Debris over which weep | |
Their stricken families: | |
Parents, wives and children | |
Their heroic children | |
Their heroic sufferings | |
Do strengthen hearts | |
And moisten eyes | |
Know ye not (Have ye forgotten?) | |
Your place in the earth? | |
We know (as we've always known) | |
(That) there can be no place | |
For such as ye | |
Upon our blameless, benighted earth | |
The breath of the dead | |
Fills the stagnant breeze: | |
Now, the world is perfect | |
(And) those left behind still weep | |
(And) should the question of terror arise | |
We'll draw our hate down from the skies | |
We live beneath a carcass moon | |
That makes a horror of all days | |
For on this battlefield | |
Even the wicked get worse than they deserve | |
Â'�But then, it is the curse of the great | |
To have to walk over the corpses. Â'� | |
Â'�Es war schon immer der fluch der mÃ'�chtigen | |
Ã'�ber leichen schreiten zu mÃ'�ssen. Â'� | |
With our deeds of carnage | |
We hail bloodshed our immortal king |
