The Court Of The Crimson King (2009 Stereo Mix)

The rusted chains of prison moons

Are shattered by the sun

I walk a road, horizons change
我沿路而上，眼前豁然开朗
The tournament's begun

The purple piper plays his tune
紫色的风笛手演奏着旋律
The choir softly sing
唱诗班轻声吟唱
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
三支古老的摇篮曲
For the court of the crimson king
在深红国王的宫殿中回荡

The keeper of the city keys

Put shutters on the dreams
将梦想尽数收藏
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
我在朝圣者的门外等候
With insufficient schemes
计划着那并不周密的阴谋
The black queen chants the funeral march

The cracked brass bells will ring
破裂的铜钟即将被敲响
To summon back the fire witch
那神奇的火焰女巫
To the court of the crimson king

The gardener plants an evergreen

Whilst trampling on a flower
却践踏了一朵鲜花
I chase the wind of a prism ship
一艘棱镜船徐徐驶过
To taste the sweet and sour
带着甜蜜而酸腐的气息
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
变戏法的人高举着手
The orchestra begin
管弦乐队开始表演
As slowly turns the grinding wheel

In the court of the crimson king

On soft gray mornings widows cry

The wise men share a joke

I run to grasp divining signs

To satisfy the hoax
配合着这场骗局
The yellow jester does not play

But gently pulls the strings
只是优雅地摆弄着提线
And smiles as the puppets dance
