The Seventh Seal - Scott Walker

Anybody seen a knight pass this way

I saw him playing chess with death yesterday

His crusade was a search for god and they say

It's been a along way to carry on

Anybody hear of plague in this town

The town i've left behind was burned to the ground

A young girl on a stake her face framed in flames cried

I'm not a witch god knows my name

The knight he watched with fear

He needed to know

He ran where he might feel god's breath

And in the misty church

He knelt to confess

The face within the booth was mr death

My life's a vain pursuit of meaningless smiles

Why can't god touch me with a sign

Perhaps there's no one there answered the booth

And death hid within his cloak and smiled

This morning i played chess with death said the knight

We played that he might grant me time

My bishop and my knight will shatter his flanks

And still i might feel god's heart in mine

And through confession's grille death's laughter was heard

The knight cried no you've cheated me

But still i'll find a way

We'll meet once again and once again

Continue to play

They met within the woods the knight his squire and friends

And death said now the game shall end

The final move was made

The knight hung his head

And said you've won i've nothing left to play

The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love

To look against the stormy sky

The knight his squire and friends

Their hands held as one

Solemnly danced toward the dawn

His hourglass in his hand his scythe by his side

The master death he leads them on

The rain will wash away the tears from their faces

And as the thunder cracked they were gone
