The Ascension

[00:00.000] 作词 : Sufjan Stevens
[00:27.901]When I am dead and the light leaves my breast
[00:34.478]Nothing to be told, nothing to confess
[00:41.387]Let the record show what I couldn’t quite confess
[00:47.867]For by living for myself I was living for unrest
[00:54.645]Then the evidence came back
[00:57.649]In a chariot of vindication
[01:02.064]Something to behold
[01:05.327]Glorious in its path
[01:08.509]But the prophecy fell back as it gave to me an invitation
[01:15.222]Show them what is right
[01:19.239]Show them what is blessed
[01:21.984]But now it strikes me far too late again
[01:28.692]That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
[01:35.634]And now it strikes me far too late again
[01:41.279]That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
[02:03.642]So I should be sad of a life that ? its mess
[02:10.233]For once your life was sold it can never be possessed
[02:16.790]You were selfishlly as a continent
[02:20.328]You were finally at your best
[02:23.663]For your favourite, for yourself
[02:27.543]Your selfishness was blessed
[02:30.770]Then Cordelia came back
[02:34.004]In a ?hallucination
[02:37.427]Something to rejoice
[02:41.358]Glorious in its ?
[02:44.284]But the prophecy was a pantomime as it gave to me a recusation
[02:51.557]Show them what is right
[02:55.076]Show them what is best
[02:58.174]But now it strikes me far too late again
[03:04.763]That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
[03:12.100]And now it strikes me far too late again
[03:18.298]That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
[03:25.152]And now it frightens me, a foot against my chest
[03:31.875]To think I was asking for a reason explaning my everything ?
[03:39.182]And now it frightens me, the dreams that I possessed
[03:45.621]To think I was acting like a believer, when I was just angry and depressed
[03:52.679]And to everything there is no meaning
[03:55.860]A season of pain and hopelessness
[03:59.246]I shouldn’t have looked for revelation
[04:02.726]I should have resigned myself to this
[04:06.140]I thought I could change the world around me
[04:09.673]I thought I could change the world for best
[04:12.806]I thought I was called in convocation
[04:16.270]I thought I was sanctified and blessed
[04:20.234]But now it strikes me to know the truth at last
[04:26.691]That everything comes from consummation
[04:30.113]And everything comes with consequence
[04:34.064][That I did it all with ?
[04:37.031]While you killed it all with for ? holiness
[04:47.700]What now? What now?
[04:53.533]What now?
[04:56.332]What now?
[04:59.688]What now?

When I am dead and the light leaves my breast
Nothing to be told, nothing to confess
Let the record show what I couldn’t quite confess
For by living for myself I was living for unrest
Then the evidence came back
In a chariot of vindication
Something to behold
Glorious in its path
But the prophecy fell back as it gave to me an invitation
Show them what is right
Show them what is blessed
But now it strikes me far too late again
That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
And now it strikes me far too late again
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
So I should be sad of a life that ? its mess
For once your life was sold it can never be possessed
You were selfishlly as a continent

For your favourite, for yourself
Your selfishness was blessed

In a ?hallucination
