Requiem For The Masses
(Terry Kirkman)
Requiem aeternam, requiem aeternam
Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half mast, for the matadors
Who turned their backs to please the crowd
And all fell before the bull
Red was the color of his blood flowing thin
Pallid white was the color of his lifeless skin
Blue was the color of the morning sky
He saw looking up from the ground where he died
It was the last thing ever seen by him
Kyrie Eleison
Mama, mama, forget your pies
Have faith they won't get cold
And turn your eyes to the bloodshot sky
Your flag is flying full
At half mast, for the matadors
Who turned their backs to please the crowd
And fell before the bull
Black and white were the figures that recorded him
Black and white was the newsprint he was mentioned in
Black and white was the question that so bothered him
He never asked, he was taught not to ask
BUt was on his lips as they buried him
Rex tremendae majestatis
Requiem aeternam, Requiem aeternam
Réquiem Para as Massas
(Terry Kirkman)
Réquiem aeternam, réquiem aeternam
Mãe, mãe, esquece suas tortas
Tenha fé, elas não esfriarão
E vire seus olhos para o céu avermelhado
Sua bandeira está a pleno vapor
A meia haste, pelos matadores
Que viraram as costas pra agradar a plateia
E todos caíram diante do touro
Vermelho era a cor do seu sangue escorrendo fino
Pálido branco era a cor da sua pele sem vida
Azul era a cor do céu da manhã
Ele viu olhando pra cima do chão onde morreu
Foi a última coisa que ele viu
Kyrie Eleison
Mãe, mãe, esquece suas tortas
Tenha fé, elas não esfriarão
E vire seus olhos para o céu avermelhado
Sua bandeira está a pleno vapor
A meia haste, pelos matadores
Que viraram as costas pra agradar a plateia
E caíram diante do touro
Preto e branco eram as figuras que o registraram
Preto e branco era o jornal em que foi mencionado
Preto e branco era a pergunta que tanto o incomodava
Ele nunca perguntou, foi ensinado a não perguntar
Mas estava em seus lábios enquanto o enterravam
Rex tremendae majestatis
Réquiem aeternam, réquiem aeternam
