Paroles de la chanson There Was a Saviour / Interlude I par John Cale
There was a saviour
Rarer than radium
Commoner than water, crueller than truth;
Children kept from the sun
Assembled at his tongue
To hear the golden note turn in a groove
Prisoners of wishes locked their eyes
In the jails and studies of his keyless, keyless smiles
The voice of children says
From a lost wilderness
There was calm to be done in his safe unrest
When hindering man hurt
Man, animal, or bird
We hid our fears in that murdering breath
Silence, silence to do, when the earth grew loud
In the lairs and asylums of the tremendous shout
There was glory to hear
In the churches of his tears
Under his downy arm you sighed as he struck
O you who could not cry
On to the ground when a man died
Put a fear of joy in the unearthly flood
And laid your cheek against a cloud-formed shell:
Now in the dark there is only yourself yourself yourself yourself yourself and myself
Two proud, blacked brothers cry
Winter-locked side by side
We hid our fears in that murdering breath
Silence, silence to do, when the earth grew loud
In the lairs and asylums of the tremendous shout
There was glory to hear
In the churches of his tears
Under his downy arm you sighed as he struck
O you who could not cry
On to the ground when a man died
Put a fear of joy in the unearthly flood
And laid your cheek against a cloud-formed shell:
Now in the dark there is only yourself yourself yourself yourself yourself and myself
Two proud, blacked brothers cry
Winter-locked side by side
To this inhospitable hollow year
O we who could not stir one lean sigh
Not even one lean sigh when we heard
Greed on man beating near and fire neighbour
But wailed and nestled in the sky-blue wall
Now break a giant tear for the little little little little known fall
For the drooping of homes
That did not nurse our bones
Brave deaths of only ones but never found
Now see alone, now see, alone in us, alone in us
Our own true strangers' dust
Ride through the doors of our unentered house
Exiled in us we arouse the soft
Unclenched, armless, silk and rough love that breaks all rocks
O we who could not stir one lean sigh
Not even one lean sigh when we heard
Greed on man beating near and fire neighbour
But wailed and nestled in the sky-blue wall
Now break a giant tear for the little little little little known fall
For the drooping of homes
That did not nurse our bones
Brave deaths of only ones but never found
Now see alone, now see, alone in us, alone in us
Our own true strangers' dust
Ride through the doors of our unentered house
Exiled in us we arouse the soft
Unclenched, armless, silk and rough love that breaks all rocks
