The Seventh Seal-Scott Walker

[00:15.113] Anybody seen a knight pass this way [00:22.342] I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday [00:30.364] His crusade was a search for God and they say [00:36.540] It's been a long way to carry on [00:46.860] Anybody hear of plague in this town [00:53.645] The town I've left behind was burned to the ground [01:00.493] A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried [01:07.301] I'm not a witch God knows my name [01:14.519] The knight he watched with fear [01:17.915] He needed to know [01:21.375] He ran where he might feel God's breath [01:28.432] And in the misty church [01:31.145] He knelt to confess [01:35.105] The face within the booth was Mr. Death [01:45.905] My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless smiles [01:52.824] Why can't God touch me with a sign [01:59.413] Perhaps there's no one there answered the booth [02:06.552] And Death hid within his cloak and smiled [02:13.753] This morning I played chess with Death said the knight [02:20.640] We played that he might grant me time [02:27.523] My bishop and my knight will shatter his flanks [02:34.172] And still I might feel God's heart in mine [02:41.724] And through confession's grille Death's laughter was heard [02:48.343] The knight cried No you've cheated me! [02:55.385] But still I'll find a way [02:58.052] We'll meet once again and once again [03:03.867] Continue to play [03:12.669] They met within the woods the knight his squire and friends [03:19.665] And Death said now the game shall end [03:26.293] The final move was made [03:29.110] The knight hung his head [03:32.237] And said you've won I've nothing left to play [03:40.409] The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love [03:47.034] To look against the stormy sky [03:53.990] The knight his squire and friends [03:56.978] Their hands held as one [04:00.625] Solemnly danced toward the dawn [04:08.095] His hourglass in his hand his scythe by his side [04:14.774] The master Death he leads them on [04:21.546] The rain will wash away the tears from their faces [04:28.387] And as the thunder cracked they were gone
