Kris Kristofferson - The pilgrim - capter 33

Tekst :

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin yesterday s misfortunes like a smile--
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they was goin outa style--
And he keeps right on a changin for the better or the worse,
Searchin for a shrine he s never found--
Never knowin if believin is a blessin or a curse,
Or if the goin up was worth the comin down--

He s a poet, he s a picker--
He s a prophet, he s a pusher--
He s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he s stoned--
He s a walkin contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin ev ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he s traded in tomorrow for today--
Runnin from his devils, Lord, and reachin for the stars,
And losin all he s loved along the way--
But if this world keeps right on turnin for the better or the worse,
And all he ever gets is older and around--
From the rockin of the cradle to the rollin of the hearse,
The goin up was worth the comin down--

He s a poet, he s a picker--
He s a prophet, he s a pusher--
He s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he s stoned--
He s a walkin contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin ev ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

There s a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

    Śpiewam pod gołym niebem

    Schylone słońce, tuż ponad miastem
    zakwitło luną i cicho zgasło
    i tylko nad dachami wieczorne zorze
    barwiły rdzawo resztki dnia.

    Znajomy księżyc na niebie jaśniał,
    wydłużał cienie na murach miasta
    i stałaś tak Warszawo, Warszawo moja,
    wtopiona w księżycowy blask.

    Hellion

    Hell-hound, hot leather on your legs
    That smokin powder keg
    You re riding on is hell-bound
    And you re the one they claim
    It s going down in flames
    You re riding Hades rails (Hellion)

    Hellion -The devil s Hellion child
    Hellion -will never have to die

    Czarne zastępy

    Imię króla królestwa zła
    Brzmi ciepło Szatan.
    Szatan:
    To znak diabelnej mocy
    Piekielnych ksiąg,
    To jad i wąż,
    To wieczny zew prawdy,
    To noc,
    To pierwszy bunt i proch.
    Czarne zastępy dusz
    Kpią z marności ciał.
    Kapłanie króla królestwa...

    Mass hypnosis

    Looking inside, your future uncertain
    The fear grows as a sickness uncured
    The silence ggonizes, the word sound strong
    Look inside ehe eyes, leave this world
    Hate through the arteries
    Mass Hypnosis
    Uncertain of being back
    They make you feel so good
    Everything s darkened
    Obey like a fool
    Hate...

    Love gone bad

    If I hear you stalkin
    Looking for sympathy
    You just keep on walkin
    Actin like you don t know me
    Ain t nothin new for you
    Honey what you put me through
    Seven years ago today
    There ain t no other way

    Once bitten now two cents shy
    Almost the apple of your daddy s...
