[00:00.00] 作曲 : Gregory Mark Spawton
[00:07.23]In a place where the river banks draw near
[00:11.49]men work a heading to the west.
[00:17.04]Where streams like giants’ fingers close
[00:21.84]from the hills to the emptiness beneath,
[00:25.56]to the depths of the mere.
[00:26.04]Morning light
[00:26.31]midwinter sun
[00:38.97]underneath;
[00:39.21]the river song.
[00:39.51]In a place where the river banks draw close
[00:55.11]men break stone to make new ground.
[00:56.13]Light and air are hard down deep to find
[01:03.63]engines work to hold the water back
[01:04.41]to the edge of the mere.
[01:04.80]‘Run boys run toward the light;
[01:05.49]the river’s in, the tunnel’s in’;
[01:25.71]Here she comes
[01:28.08]the sleeper wakes,
[01:28.44]ten thousand years
[01:28.83]she lay in wait for this.
[01:29.28]Every night their dreams were filled
[01:48.06]with the fear of the river breaking in.
[01:54.30]But this was not a river god,
[01:59.73]this was something rising from the deep,
[02:01.77]from the depths of the mere.
[02:02.31]‘Run boys run make for the light,
[02:15.48]save yourselves, the tunnel’s in.’
[02:20.34]Here he comes
[02:22.74]the first rebreather,
[02:23.37]like a mummer,
[02:23.67]like a souler
[02:23.94](come to save them.)
[03:18.30]Rising up to the height of the river
[03:25.59]at flood tide.
[03:26.01]Engines fail, lost to the water
[03:29.79]as silence falls.
[03:30.15]This man will walk into darkness,
[04:02.01]one foot in front of the other,
[04:02.88]into the unsounded depths
[04:03.78]of the heading;
[04:04.05]into the fifth circle of hell,
[04:17.07]with no light to lead him home,
[04:19.05]man is all alone at the end.
[04:19.59]This man will walk into darkness
[04:43.74]without fear of what lurks in the shadows.
[04:44.55]Watching the surface grow quite still,
[04:45.27]waiting for hope at the ninth hour,
[05:29.01]man all alone in the darkness.
[05:40.29]Here he comes:
[08:31.83]the first rebreather.
