The Lie (Bernini's Saint Theresa) (2006 Digital Remaster)-Peter Hammill

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Peter Hammill [00:53.95]Genuflection, erection in church. [01:07.52]Sacristy cloth, moth-eaten shroud. [01:20.77]Secret silence, sacred secrets [01:29.28]accumulate dust, aggravate the eye. [01:49.16]Incautious laughter after confession. [01:59.82]Benediction, fictional fear. [02:08.49]Hidden faces...Grace is a name, [02:16.05]like Chastity, like Lucifer, like mine. [02:38.45]You took me through the window-stain, [02:46.58]drowned in image, incense, [02:49.92]choir-refrain and slow ecstasy. [02:56.56]I'd embrace you if I only knew your name. [03:10.41]The silent corner haunts my shadow prayers. [03:23.40]ice-cold statue, rapture divine, [03:42.26]unconscious eyes, the open mouth, [03:48.25]the wound of love, [03:50.67]the Lie. [04:08.00]You took me, gave me reasons for [04:15.72]saints and missals, vigils, [04:19.63]all the more holy martyrs. [04:25.30]I'd embrace you and walk through [04:29.03]the one-way door. [04:54.61]I'd embrace you, but it would be just another lie.
