In the Wake of Poseidon歌词

作词 : Robert Fripp & Peter Sinfield
In The Wake of Poseidon
King Crimson

plato's spawn cold ivyed eyes

snare truth in bone and globe

harlequins coin pointless games

sneer jokes in parrot's robe

two women weep,dame scarlet screen

sheds sudden theatre rain

whilst dark in dream the midnight queen

knows every human pain

in air,fire,earth and water world on the scales

air,fire,earth and water

balance of change

world on the scales

on the scales

bishop's kings spin judgement's blade

scratch "faith" on nameless graves

harvest hags Hoard ash and sand

pack rope and chain for slaves

who fireside fear fermented words

then rear to spoil the feast

whilst in the aisle the mad man smiles

to him it matters least

heroes hands drain stones for blood

to whet the scaling knife

magi blind with visions light

net death in dread of life

their children kneel in Jesus till

they learn the price of nail

whilst all around our mother earth

waits balance on the scales
