The Ascension歌詞

[00:00.000] 作詞 : Sufjan Stevens
[00:00.107]
[00:27.680]When I am dead and the light leaves my breast
[00:34.273]Nothing to be told, nothing to?confess
[00:41.165]Let?the record show?what I couldn’t quite confess
[00:47.810]For by?living for myself, I was living for unrest
[00:54.638]Then the evidence came back in a chariot of vindication
[01:01.849]Something to behold
[01:05.210]Glorious in its path
[01:08.232]But the prophecy fell back as it gave to me an invitation
[01:15.538]Show them what is right
[01:18.941]Show them what is blessed
[01:21.907]But now it strikes me far too late again
[01:28.608]That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
[01:35.645]And now it strikes me far too late again
[01:42.024]That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
[02:03.259]So what should be said of a life that leaves its mess?
[02:10.058]For once your life was sold it could never be possessed
[02:16.782]You were selfishly as a continent
[02:20.233]You were finally at your best
[02:23.659]For you favored for yourself when selfishness was blessed
[02:30.392]Then Cordelia came back in a chariot hallucination
[02:37.809]Something to rejoice
[02:41.091]Glorious in its wrath
[02:44.170]But the prophecy was a pantomime as it came to me in accusation
[02:51.484]Show them what is right
[02:54.945]Show them what is best
[02:57.863]But now it strikes me far too late again
[03:04.334]That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
[03:11.617]And now it strikes me far too late again
[03:18.015]That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
[03:25.447]And now it frightens me, the thought against my chest
[03:31.660]To think I was asking for a reason, explaining why everything's a total mess
[03:39.052]And now it frightens me, the dreams that I possess
[03:45.371]To think I was acting like a believer, when I was just angry and depressed
[03:52.177]And to everything there is no meaning
[03:55.704]A season of pain and hopelessness
[03:58.893]I shouldn’t have looked for revelation
[04:02.491]I should have resigned myself to this
[04:05.857]I thought I could change the world around me
[04:09.405]I thought I could change the world for best
[04:12.828]I thought I was called in convocation
[04:16.216]I thought I was sanctified and blessed
[04:20.141]But now it strengthens me to know the truth at last
[04:26.437]That everything comes from consummation
[04:29.767]And everything comes with consequence
[04:33.382]And I did it all with exultation
[04:36.664]While you did it all with hopelessness
[04:40.211]Yes, I did it all with adoration
[04:43.541]While you killed it off with all of your holy mess
[04:47.758]What now? (What now?)
[04:52.836](What now?)
[04:56.146](What now?)
[04:59.567](What now?)
[05:01.331]What now? (What now?)
[05:06.497](What now?)
[05:09.906](What now?)
[05:13.380](What now?)
