Blood Upon the Risers - 82nd All-American Chorus

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional
[00:00.00]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[00:07.45]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[00:14.20]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[00:19.70]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[00:23.50]He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright
[00:27.45]As he checked all his equipment and made sure his pack was tight
[00:31.45]He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar
[00:35.00]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[00:38.85]"Is everybody ready?" cried the Sergeant looking up
[00:42.75]Our Hero meekly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up
[00:46.70]He jumped right out into the blast, his static line unhooked
[00:50.20]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[00:54.20]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die, die
[00:57.90]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[01:01.70]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[01:05.10]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[01:08.90]He counted loud, he counted long, he waited for the shock
[01:12.75]He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt that awful drop
[01:16.50]The silk from his reserves spilled out and wrapped around his legs
[01:19.85]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[01:23.75]The risers wrapped around his neck, connectors cracked his dome
[01:27.60]Suspension lines were tied in knots, around his skinny bones
[01:31.35]The canopy became a shroud as he hurtled to the ground
[01:34.80]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[01:38.75]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die, die
[01:42.50]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[01:46.15]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[01:49.60]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[01:53.60]The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind
[02:01.30]He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind
[02:08.70]He thought about the medics, and he wondered what they'd find
[02:13.16]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[02:16.90]The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild
[02:20.65]The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled
[02:24.60]For it had been a week or so since last a chute had failed
[02:27.95]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[02:31.90]He hit the ground, the sound was splat, the blood went spurting high
[02:35.65]His comrades were heard to say "What a helluva way to die!"
[02:39.40]He lay there rolling around in all the welter of his gore
[02:42.85]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[02:46.75]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die, die
[02:50.60]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[02:54.30]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[02:57.60]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[03:01.45]There was blood upon the risers; there was brains upon his chute
[03:10.69]Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit
[03:18.23]They poured him from his helmet, and they poured him from his boots
[03:22.87]And he ain't gonna jump no more
[03:27.12]Beautiful streamer please open for me
[03:33.05]Blue skies above me, and no canopy
[03:39.70]I counted ten thousand waited too long
[03:44.70]Reached for my ripcord, the handle was gone
[03:51.24]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die, die
[03:55.69]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[03:59.87]Gory, gory what a helluva way to die
[04:05.60]And he ain't gonna jump no more
