The Seventh Seal (instrumental)

歌詞

Anybody see a knight pass this way? I saw him playing chess with Death yesterday His crusade was a search - for God and their same It's been a long way to carry on Anybody hear of plague in this town? The town I've left behind was burned to the ground A young girl on a stake, her face framed in flames Cried "I'm not a witch - God knows my name" The knight he watched with fear - he needed to know He ran where he might feel Gods breath And in the misty church, he knelt to confess The face within the booth was Mr Death My life's a vain pursuit - of meaningless miles Why can't God touch me with a sign? "Perhaps there's no-one there" answered the booth And Death hid within his cloak and smiled This morning I played chess with Death said the Knight We played that he might grant me time My bishop and my knights will shatter his flanks And still I might feel God's heart in mine And through confessions grill - Death's laughter was heard The Knight cried "No, you've cheated me" But still I find a way - we'll meet once again And once again continue to play They met within the woods - the knight, his squire and friends And Death said "Now the game shall end&quit; The final move was made - the knight hung his head And said "You've won - I have nothing left to play" The minstrel filled with visions - sang to his love To look against the stormy sky The knight, his squire and friends - their hands held as one Silently danced towards the dawn His hourglass in his hands - his scythe by his side The master Death, he leads them on The rain will wash away - the tears from their faces And as the thunder cracked - they were gone
