John Parfit

John Parfit文本歌词

作词 : Flynn James Gerard Essex

作曲 : Flynn James Gerard Essex

Parfit went out one cold dark night

Walking the Yorkshire woods all round

Thinking to find some game to eat

Along the frosted ground

He heard the pheasant in the trees

Innocent to the wild owl call

Come the keeper's stealthy tread

His mean heart wrapped in gall

The Duke of Norfolk's game keeper

Out to the woodland come

Protecting life, so it be killed

On a sporting day for fun

He give chase to John Parfit

All in the lonely copse that night

Struggling beneath the bare branched trees

In the foxes' silent sight

A shot was fired and, sad to tell,

Laid John Parfit on the ground

For a moment's rage and carelessness

Precious blood flowed down

In the light of dawn

Brown leaves on mossy ground

On a woodland place where death has come

Golden sun shown down

The game keeper was told go free

For it was said that there was no crime

That a man was killed and stupidly

Nobody seemed to mind

The world's a tattered and rusty place

Drowning memories of countless men

Guardians guard by earthly fence

But who will guard the guardians?
