[00:00.00] 作词 : Hammill
[00:22.27]I stood alone upon the highest cliff-top,
[00:25.74]looked down, around, and all that I could see
[00:29.13]were those that I would dearly love to share with
[00:32.44]crashing on quite blindly to the sea....
[00:37.27]I tried to ask what game this was
[00:40.57]but knew I would not play it:
[00:44.02]the voice, as one, as no-one, came to me....
[01:06.43]We have looked upon the heroes and they are found wanting;
[01:10.63]we have looked hard across the land but we can see no dawn;
[01:14.28]we have now dared to sear the sky but we are still bleeding;
[01:18.26]we are drawing near to the cliffs,
[01:20.79]now we can hear the call.
[01:23.93]The clouds are piled in mountain-shapes,
[01:26.71]there is no escape except to go forward.
[01:37.54]Don't ask us for an answer now,
[01:41.08]it's far too late to bow to that convention.
[01:52.76]What course is there left but to die?
[02:14.39]We have looked upon the High Kings, found them less than mortals:
[02:18.72]their names are dust before the just march of our young, new law.
[02:22.12]Minds stumbling strong, we hurtle on into the dark portal;
[02:25.91]No-one can halt our final vault
[02:28.69]into the unknown maw.
[02:31.21]And as the Elders beat their brows
[02:34.71]they know that it is really far too late now to stop us,
[02:45.15]for if the sky is seeded death
[02:49.32]what is the point in catching breath? Expel it.
[03:00.30]What cause is there left but to die
[03:11.02]in searching of something we're really not too sure of?"
[03:24.82]What cause is there left but to die?
[03:35.48]I really don't know why.
[04:00.67]I know our ends may be soon but why do you make them sooner?
[04:07.71]Time may finally prove only the living move her and
[04:15.36]no life lies in the quicksand.
[05:28.68]Yes, I know it's
[05:29.18]out of control, out of control:
[05:33.43]greasy machinery slides on the rails,
[05:37.02]young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled.
[05:48.91]Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones;
[05:52.52]iron-throated monsters are forcing the screams,
[05:57.09]mind and machinery box-press the dreams.
[06:29.33]But there still is time....
[07:37.18]Cowards are they who run today, the fight is beginning...
[07:40.98]no war with knives, fight with our lives, lemmings can teach nothing;
[07:45.02]death offers no hope, we must grope for the unknown answer,
[07:48.87]unite our blood, abate the flood,
[07:51.62]avert the disaster.
[07:55.26]There's other ways than screaming in the mob:
[07:58.55]that makes us merely cogs of hatred.
[08:08.76]Look to the why and where we are,
[08:12.32]look to yourselves and the stars,yes, and in the end
[08:23.88]what choice is there left but to live
[08:35.11]in the hope of saving
[08:36.94]our children's children's little ones?
[08:48.78]What choice is there left but to live
[08:52.53]What choice is there left but to live
[08:56.21]What choice is there left but to live
[08:59.04]to save the little ones?
[09:03.84]What choice is there left but to try?
[09:07.53]What choice is there left but to try?
[09:11.48]What choice is there left but to try?
