ed dixon - the bearer of evil tidings كلمات أغنية

the bearer of evil tidings
when he was halfway there
remembered that evil tidings
were a dangerous thing to bear

so when he came to the parting
where one road led to the throne
and one went off to the mountains
and into the wild unknown

he took the one to the mountains
he ran through the vale of cashmere
he ran through the rhododеndrons
till he came to the land of pamir

and thеre in a precipice valley
a girl of his age he met
took him home to her bower
or he might be running yet

she taught him her tribe’s religion:
how ages and ages since
a princess en route to china
to marry a persian prince

had been found with child; and her army
had come to a troubled halt
and though a god was the father
and n0body else at fault
it had seemed discreet to remain there
and neither go on nor back
so they stayed and declared a village
there in the land of the yak

and the child that came of the princess
established a royal line
and his mandates were given heed to
because he was born divine

and that was why there were people
on one himalayan shelf;
and the bearer of evil tidings
decided to stay there himself

at least he had this in common
with the race he chose to adopt:
they had both of them had their reasons
for stopping where they had stopped

as for evil tidings
belshazzar’s overthrow
why hurry to tell belshazzar
what soon enough he would know?
