[00:00.000] | 作曲 : The Mechanisms |
[00:00.943] | Deep in my cups and my whiskey |
[00:06.426] | Sometimes the screaming will cease |
[00:11.046] | Free-flowing tears fall unnoticed |
[00:15.852] | Numbness my only release |
[00:20.281] | Some soldiers will tell you that warfare |
[00:25.353] | Is just one more title for Hell |
[00:30.384] | I wonder if devils get nightmares |
[00:35.542] | Of all of their victims as well |
[00:39.509] | Broken horses, staring and still |
[00:47.508] | Broken horses, like all those I killed |
[00:54.763] | Broken horses, riding me down |
[01:02.373] | Broken horses |
[01:06.843] | Broken horses |
[01:10.685] | See, Ulysses the drunk was once Ulysses the soldier, |
[01:15.612] | and a high-ranking one too. |
[01:17.900] | So it was they found themselves fighting at the siege of Ilium some twenty years ago. |
[01:24.407] | It was a brutal war of attrition against one of the best-defended districts of the city. |
[01:29.294] | A war that Ulysses the soldier was determined to win. |
[01:39.323] | After a decade of fighting |
[01:43.442] | Still their defences stood firm |
[01:47.153] | Heartless and cunning and scheming |
[01:50.924] | Victory I would confirm |
[01:54.507] | Offering peace and departing |
[01:58.154] | We honoured our valiant foes |
[02:01.541] | A statue that I had designed them |
[02:05.175] | Sending a message of hope |
[02:07.992] | And broken horses, all that I built were |
[02:15.540] | Broken horses, shattered by guilt |
[02:22.453] | Broken horses, I can't outrun these |
[02:30.071] | Broken horses |
[02:33.323] | Broken horses |
[02:38.736] | Ulysses proposed a solution. |
[02:40.658] | Peace and independence for Ilium, free from the city’s clutches. |
[02:45.108] | Accords were drawn up, treaties were signed, |
[02:49.999] | and to commemorate this historic occasion, a vast statue was commissioned, |
[02:55.897] | honouring the districts' history as famed breeders of horses, |
[02:59.240] | back when such beasts still existed. |
[03:02.685] | It was scanned for bioweapons, it was scanned for explosives, it was scanned for hidden soldiers. |
[03:08.912] | None were found. |
[03:12.283] | And the gift was accepted, and joy was unconfined. |
[03:23.983] | It was not, however, |
[03:25.258] | scanned for a faint, almost inaudible signal being broadcast of Ulysses’ own design, |
[03:32.218] | intended to gradually drive the listener to madness. |
[03:37.991] | Within a week, all in Ilium was ripping and rending and tearing and blood. |
[03:45.873] | When they finally opened the gates, there were none left alive. |
[03:51.035] | The war was over. |
[04:38.211] | Sometimes it’s hard to remember |
[04:43.342] | The city was not always here |
[04:48.082] | Animals long since extinguished |
[04:52.526] | Roaming with nothing to fear |
[04:57.192] | Once they were known as equestrians |
[05:01.881] | And Ilium honoured its past |
[05:07.336] | Statues are all that remain now |
[05:10.928] | Their riders have fallen at last |
[05:14.576] | From broken horses, silent and stone |
[05:22.575] | Broken horses, like cracked and fractured bone |
[05:30.368] | Broken horses, all because of me |
[05:38.335] | Broken horses |
