Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作词 : Walker
[00:05.131] I seen a hand, I seen a vision
[00:10.516] It was reaching through the clouds, To risk a dream
[00:18.045] A shadow cross the sky
[00:21.363] And it crushed into the ground, Just like a beast
[00:29.207] The old man's back again
[00:35.212] The old man's back again
[00:41.706] I seen a woman, standing in the snow
[00:47.296] She was silent as she watched them take her man
[00:54.555] Teardrops burned her cheeks
[00:57.614] For she thought she'd heard, The shadow had left this land
[01:05.972] The old man's back again
[01:12.054] The old man's back again
[01:18.299] The crowds just gathered, their faces turned away
[01:24.253] And they queue all day like dragons of disgust
[01:31.591] All the women whispering
[01:34.395] Wondering just what these young hot-heads want of us
[01:42.010] And entres vie he cries
[01:44.915] With eyes that ring like chimes
[01:47.583] His anti-worlds go spinning through his head
[01:54.112] He burns them in his dreams
[01:57.742] For half awake they may as well be dead
[02:06.736] The old man's back again
[02:12.343] I see he's back again
[02:18.470] I see a soldier, He's standing in the rain
[02:24.044] For him there's no old man to walk behind
[02:32.049] Devoured by his pain
[02:34.591] Bewildered by the faces who pass him by
[02:41.363] He'd like another name the one he's got's a curse
[02:48.388] These people cried
[02:52.669] Why can't they understand
[02:55.595] His mother called him Ivan then she died
[03:06.131] The old man's back again
[03:11.155] The old man's back again
[03:16.654] I can see him back again
