[00:03.02]Lyrics by：Wilfred Owen
[00:03.47]Composed by：Benjamin Britten
[00:09.70]After the blast of lightning from the East
[00:25.92]The flourish of loud clouds the Chariot Throne
[00:40.58]After the drums of time have rolled and ceased
[00:59.55]And by the bronze west long retreat is blown
[01:22.15]Shall life renew these bodies of a truth
[01:29.31]All death will he annul all tears assuage
[01:36.70]Or fill these void veins of life again with youth
[01:42.04]And wash with an immortal water age
[01:54.61]When I do ask white age he saith not so
[02:04.23]My head hangs weighed with snow
[02:22.10]And when I hearken to the earth she saith
[02:34.05]My fiery heart shrinks aching it is death
[02:46.41]Mine ancient scars shalls not be glorified
[03:01.42]Nor my titanic tears the sea be dried
