[00:01.00] 作词 : Anna-Varney Cantodea
[00:51.98]here was a country by the sea
[00:56.76]but I cannot say for certain
[01:01.59]whether it was part of a lonely isle
[01:05.77]or merely some coastal region.
[01:10.40]A landing-stage of rotten blanks stretched carefully into the waves
[01:19.15]and for one moment I did wonder
[01:23.53]what frightening purpose it might serve.
[01:28.11]Oh，heavy, roaring
[01:30.86]endless seas
[01:32.64]what secrets does this rage entomb?
[01:37.02]Have ancient memories or hungry ghosts
[01:41.86]gathered all their strength
[01:43.69]to call for this storm?
[01:49.14]Deep-seated gardens
[01:51.38]almost a labyrinth
[01:53.56]walled in by ruins and rocks ivy-clad
[01:58.04]perhaps this strange place had once been a palace
[02:01.86]where now viole(n)t bushes bear dark thorns instead.
[02:07.35]A young boy was taking me by the hand
[02:10.67]and unerringly he was leading me down below the gardens
[02:18.04]which I hardly remembered
[02:20.43]the moment I took the first step underground.
[02:24.20]We came to a room with only small windows
[02:28.88]and to my suprise I could somehow still hear
[02:33.06]though reduced to a murmur
[02:35.19]now chant-like and humming
[02:37.59]to once savage voice of the roaring sea.
[03:10.01]The boy has built a catacomb
[03:16.07]he is living in a tomb
[03:22.63]below the ground
[03:25.22]where there's no sound
[03:28.65]he is hiding from the world.
[04:28.34]Something resembling an altar was built there
[04:32.87]a secret overshadowed structure and use
[04:37.08]underneath
[04:38.30]in inanimate self-contemplation
[04:41.66]lay a jet-black mass of coal-like granules.
[04:46.06]Yet, this dark material had an unearthly lightness
[04:50.85]and when I touched it, to feel what it was
[04:55.08]it did seem to totally ignore my presence…
[04:59.75]without leaving a trace
[05:01.49]it came trickling off.
[05:03.93]Then out of a sudden from under the barrow something appeared
[05:10.71]unexpectedly:
[05:13.62]it was the bones of the little boy's mother
[05:17.63]which he had placed with greatest care underneath
[05:47.99]The boy has built a catacomb
[05:53.89]he is living in a tomb
[05:59.90]below the ground
[06:02.59]where there's no sound
[06:05.85]he is hiding from the world
[07:02.18]There must have been something in my look(s)
[07:06.51]'cause the little boy started to speak
[07:11.14]and to my unvoiced Question of why he had done this
[07:15.52]he answered these words to me:
[07:20.31]"This is the only way I can be save from her
[07:25.36]only this can guarantee
[07:28.97]that she will not rise again
[07:32.50]because when she does
[07:34.54]she is always following me.
[07:38.71]There's just no alternative
[07:41.57]I cannot escape from her
[07:43.96]because as soon as I try
[07:47.62]she will get up again
[07:50.21]merely to haunt me…
[07:51.89]oh, believe me
[07:53.32]I have tried numerous times!
[07:56.79]But here in these vaults I have finally found something that works like a seal
[08:05.39]these jet-black granules do keep me from harm
[08:09.66]and her bones can no longer hurt me.
[08:14.40]Piled up in a certain
[08:16.58]specific form
[08:18.78]all the remains must be covered with it
[08:22.95]then everything keeps still and for a brief moment I can pretend
[08:29.72]that she does not exist.
[08:32.11]Yet, all the time I must be on my guards
[08:36.49]because now and then it can happen indeed
[08:40.97]that frequently the earth does tremble and shaken
[08:45.80]and some of the stones are Starting to slip.
[08:52.36]So, constantly I have to control the barrow
[08:57.33]the jet-black darkness of the coal-like mass
[09:01.78]in order to be there
[09:04.22]to repair the damage
[09:06.36]to pile all back safely and to replace..."
[09:57.02]The boy has built a catacomb
[10:02.87]he is living in a tomb
[10:08.82]below the ground
[10:11.78]where there's no sound
[10:14.88]he is hiding from the terrible world
[10:21.94]It took me a while to realize that we all have secrets and fears…
[10:33.74]- is it then a surprise that we close our minds
[10:39.57]from the pain that is causing these tears ?
[10:46.23]he boy has built a catacomb
[10:52.18]he is living in a tomb
[10:57.48]far below the ground
[11:00.92]where there's no sound
[11:04.08]he is hiding from the
[11:06.29]terrible world…
