  • 作曲 : Diamanda Galás
    Were you a witness?
    Were you a witness?
    And on that holy day
    And on that bloody day
    Were you a witness?
    Were you a witness?
    And on that holy day
    And on that bloody day
    And on his dying bed he told me
    "Tell all my friends I was fighting, too,
    But to all the cowards and voyeurs:
    There are no more tickets to the funeral
    There are no more tickets to the funeral.
    Were you a witness?
    Were you a witness?
    And on that holy day
    And on that bloody day
    There are no more tickets to the funeral
    There are no more tickets to the funeral
    The funeral is crowded!
    Were you a witness?
    Were you a witness?
    Were you there when they crucified my Lord
    Were you there when they nailed him to the cross
    Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
    Were you there when they crucified my Lord
    "Were you a witness? Were you a witness?
    "Were you there when they dragged him to the grave"
    Were you there when they dragged him to the grave
    Sometimes it causes me to wonder, wonder, wonder"
    Were you there when they dragged him to the grave?
    And on that holy day
    And on that bloody Day
    Were you a witness?
    "Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
    Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
    Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
    Were you there when they crucified my Lord?"
    "Were you a witness? Were you a witness?
    SWING SWING
    A band of Angels coming after me
    coming for to carry me home
    Swing swing
    A band of Devils coming after me
    for to drag me to the grave.
    Swing Swing
    But I will not go
    and I shall not go
    I will wake up
    and I shall walk from this room into the sun
    where the dirty angel doesn't run
    Where the dirty angel cannot go
    And brothers in this time of pestilence
    do know that we meet we hear another sick man sigh
    Each time that we meet we hear another has died
    And I see angels angels angels devils
    Angels angels devils
    Angels angels devils
    Coming for to drag me to the grave
    Angels!
    Mr. Sandman makes a filthy bed for me
    But I will not rest
    And I shall not rest
    As a man who has been blinded by the storm
    and waits for angels by the road
    while the devil waits for me at night
    with knives and lies and smiles
    and sings the "swing low sweet chariot"
    of death knells
    one by one
    like a sentence of the damned
    and one by one
    of my brothers die
    Unloved, unsung, unwanted
    Die, and faster please,
    we've got no money for extended visits
    says the sandman
    But we who have gone before
    Do not rest in peace
    Remember me?
    Unburied
    I am screaming in the bloody furnaces of Hell
    and only ask for you
    to raise your weary eyes into the sun
    until the sun has set
    For we who have gone before
    Do not rest in peace
    We who have died
    Shall never rest in peace
    There is no rest until the fighting's done
    And I see Angels Angels
    Devils
    Angels Angels
    Angels Angels Devils
    Coming for to drag me to the grave
    Angels!
