歌词

[00:18.17] A carved oak table,
[00:20.75] Tells a tale
[00:23.34] Of times when kings and queens sipped wine from goblets gold,
[00:30.23] And the brave would lead their ladies from out of the room
[00:35.78] to arbours cool.
[00:41.15] A time of valour, and legends born
[00:46.93] A time when honour meant much more to a man than life
[00:53.35] And the days knew only strife to tell right from wrong
[00:59.33] Through lance and sword.
[01:03.89] Why, why can we never be sure till we die
[01:10.42] Or have killed for an answer,
[01:15.12] Why, why do we suffer each race to believe
[01:21.82] That no race has been grander
[01:26.68] It seems because through time and space
[01:37.27] Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore.
[02:18.16] A dusty table
[02:21.10] Musty smells
[02:23.94] Tarnished silver lies discarded upon the floor
[02:30.31] Only feeble light descends through a film of grey
[02:36.27] That scars the panes.
[02:41.61] Gone the carving,
[02:43.80] And those who left their mark,
[02:47.10] Gone the kings and queens now only the rats hold sway
[02:53.81] And the weak must die according to nature's law
[02:59.76] As old as they.
[03:04.34] Why, why can we never be sure till we die
[03:10.83] Or have killed for an answer,
[03:15.49] Why, why do we suffer each race to believe
[03:22.31] That no race has been grander
[03:27.06] It seems because through time and space
[03:37.47] Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore.
