The Lie-Peter Hammill

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Peter Hammill [01:47.83]Genuflection, erection in church. [01:58.02]Sacristy cloth, moth-eaten shroud. [02:09.97]Secret silence, sacred secrets [02:20.31]accumulate dust, aggravate the eye. [02:41.31]Incautious laughter after confession. [02:51.98]Benediction, fictional fear. [02:59.94]Hidden faces...Grace is a name, [03:06.51]like Chastity, like Lucifer, like mine. [03:27.05]You took me through the window-stain, [03:34.99]drowned in image, incense, [03:38.04]choir-refrain and slow ecstasy. [03:43.76]I'd embrace you if I only knew your name. [04:00.65]The silent corner haunts my shadow prayers. [04:12.15]ice-cold statue, rapture divine, [04:29.79]unconscious eyes, the open mouth, [04:35.93]the wound of love, [04:37.75]the Lie. [04:58.57]You took me, gave me reasons for [05:06.45]saints and missals, vigils, [05:09.23]all the more holy martyrs. [05:14.54]I'd embrace you and walk through [05:18.29]the one-way door. [05:41.72]I'd embrace you, but it would be [05:49.82]just another lie.
