歌词

[00:03.89] Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now
[00:19.06] Dumb:
[00:21.78] What have we become?
[00:26.00] What have we chosen to be?
[00:30.88] Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of
[00:42.70] Our name
[00:44.87] Nothing can ever be the same:
[00:49.34] Now the Immortals are here.
[00:55.79] At the time it seemed a reasonable course
[01:05.67] To harness all the force
[01:10.96] Of life without the threat of death,
[01:14.75] But soon we found that boredom and inertia
[01:18.47] Are not negative, but all the law we know,
[01:22.84] And dead are will and words like survival.
[01:32.18] Arrival at immunity from all age, all fear and
[01:46.05] All end...
[01:47.98] Why do I pretend?
[01:53.16] Our essence is distilled
[01:56.95] And all familiar taste is now drained,
[02:06.53] And though purity is maintained
[02:12.88] It leaves us sterile,
[02:16.70] Living through the millions of years,
[02:24.27] A laugh as close as any tear;
[02:29.24] Living, if you claim that all
[02:33.04] That entails is breathing, eating, defecating,
[02:37.12] Screwing, drinking,
[02:38.25] Spewing, sleeping, sinking ever down and down
[02:42.11] And ultimately passing away time
[02:47.77] Which no longer has any meaning.
[03:08.14] Take away the threat of death and all you're
[03:13.14] Left with is a round of make-believe.
[03:17.24] Marshal every sullen breath and though you're
[03:21.98] Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy
[03:25.55] It's still the ring by which you hope to be
[03:28.26] Engaged
[03:30.15] To marry the girl who will give you forever
[03:33.39] It's crazy, and plainly
[03:35.02] That simply is not enough.
[04:31.38] What is the dullest and bluntest of pains,
[04:39.05] Such that my eyes never close without feeling it
[04:44.18] There?
[04:46.37] What abject despair demands an end
[04:52.85] To all things of infinity?
[05:00.38] If we have gained, how do we now meet the
[05:05.75] Cost?
[05:07.27] What have we bargained, and what have we
[05:10.01] Lost?
[05:11.52] What have we relinquished, never even knowing it
[05:13.94] Was there?
[05:20.88] What thoughts now of holding fast the line,
[05:27.41] Defying death and time?
[05:32.02] Everything we had is gone,
[05:35.30] Everything we laboured for and favoured more
[05:38.57] Than earthly things reveals the hollow ring
[05:42.77] Of false hope and false deliverance.
[05:51.24] But now the nuptial bed is made,
[06:00.90] The dowry has been paid:
[06:06.46] The toothless, haggard features of eternity
[06:12.65] Now welcome me between the sheets
[06:17.69] To couple with her withered body - my wife.
[06:28.85] Hers forever,
[06:34.27] Hers forever,
[06:39.79] Hers forever
[06:45.27] In still life.
