Текст песни Roncevaux - Van Der Graaf Generator
Fight
within
a
war
within
a
song:
Roland
dies,
but
memory
lingers
on...
Soldier,
approaching
the
Gates
of
Spain,
Treachery
waits
for
you
and
the
baggage
train;
A
rearguard
stand,
your
final
war,
It′s
what
you've
been
living
for.
Soldier,
as
you
sit
astride
Viellantif
Durendal
abides
inside
your
sheath;
Soon
you
shall
grace
the
day.
Turpin
and
Oliver
ride
by
your
side,
Bishop
and
king′s
pawn
about
to
slide;
Do
you
feel
fit
to
slay?
Carlon
is
riding
far
ahead
And
cannot
hear
your
voice
if
you
call;
Ganelon,
the
traitor,
in
his
tent
Cannot
wait
to
hear
the
word
of
your
fall...
Soon
both
shall
laugh,
in
different
ways.
Soldier,
approaching
the
Gates
of
Spain,
The
Paynim
are
sharpening
up
their
blades.
Glory!
Your
moment
is
here!
Can
you
see
Marsilion
yet?
Is
that
a
vulture
wheeling
overhead?
Twenty
thousand
Frenchmen,
the
flower
of
honour;
Stepfather's
henchmen
wait
to
fall
on
you
–
Look
around,
the
silent
sound
of
death.
Saracen
plots
and
Frenchman
aids
his
plans:
Ambuscade
springs
eternal
life
to
man.
Soldier,
now
white
rises
from
the
cliffs
of
Roncevaux
–
Battle!
Maybe
you
should
heed
the
words
of
Oliver:
It's
time
to
blow
your
horn.
Carlon
twists
and
sc
reams
out
in
his
sleep,
Ganelon
walks
the
night
with
knuckles
raw;
Soon
both
shall
die,
in
different
ways.
And
you
can
see
Marsilion
now,
Baligant
wields
Maltet
in
his
hand;
Now′s
the
time
to
hold
to
virtuous
vows,
Now′s
the
time
to
fight
and
die
alone
in
foreign
lands.
Twenty
thousand
fall
to
sixty,
there
is
no
hope;
Oliover
can
well
say
"I
told
you
so"
now...
Blow
the
horn
and
sound
the
call
for
help!
Too
late,
too
late
and
Oliver
falls,
Now
only
Turpin
and
thee,
back
to
back;
Though
Charelmagne
wheels
round
tyo
answer
the
call
When
he
arrives
he'll
find
your
body
hacked.
Only
revenge
is
left,
Marsilion
shall
die,
Only
revenge
is
left,
the
traitor′s
eye
is
beamed...
Roland,
the
song
is
ended,
Roland,
the
song
is
ended,
Roland,
the
Song
has
only
just
begun.
