[00:00.000]	作曲 : The Mechanisms
[00:00.943]	Deep in my cups and my whiskey
[00:06.426]	Sometimes the screaming will cease
[00:11.046]	Free-flowing tears fall unnoticed
[00:15.852]	Numbness my only release
[00:20.281]	Some soldiers will tell you that warfare
[00:25.353]	Is just one more title for Hell
[00:30.384]	I wonder if devils get nightmares
[00:35.542]	Of all of their victims as well
[00:39.509]	Broken horses, staring and still
[00:47.508]	Broken horses, like all those I killed
[00:54.763]	Broken horses, riding me down
[01:02.373]	Broken horses
[01:06.843]	Broken horses
[01:10.685]	See, Ulysses the drunk was once Ulysses the soldier,
[01:15.612]	and a high-ranking one too.
[01:17.900]	So it was they found themselves fighting at the siege of Ilium some twenty years ago.
[01:24.407]	It was a brutal war of attrition against one of the best-defended districts of the city.
[01:29.294]	A war that Ulysses the soldier was determined to win.
[01:39.323]	After a decade of fighting
[01:43.442]	Still their defences stood firm
[01:47.153]	Heartless and cunning and scheming
[01:50.924]	Victory I would confirm
[01:54.507]	Offering peace and departing
[01:58.154]	We honoured our valiant foes
[02:01.541]	A statue that I had designed them
[02:05.175]	Sending a message of hope
[02:07.992]	And broken horses, all that I built were
[02:15.540]	Broken horses, shattered by guilt
[02:22.453]	Broken horses, I can't outrun these
[02:30.071]	Broken horses
[02:33.323]	Broken horses
[02:38.736]	Ulysses proposed a solution.
[02:40.658]	Peace and independence for Ilium, free from the city’s clutches.
[02:45.108]	Accords were drawn up, treaties were signed,
[02:49.999]	and to commemorate this historic occasion, a vast statue was commissioned,
[02:55.897]	honouring the districts' history as famed breeders of horses,
[02:59.240]	back when such beasts still existed.
[03:02.685]	It was scanned for bioweapons, it was scanned for explosives, it was scanned for hidden soldiers.
[03:08.912]	None were found.
[03:12.283]	And the gift was accepted, and joy was unconfined.
[03:23.983]	It was not, however,
[03:25.258]	scanned for a faint, almost inaudible signal being broadcast of Ulysses’ own design,
[03:32.218]	intended to gradually drive the listener to madness.
[03:37.991]	Within a week, all in Ilium was ripping and rending and tearing and blood.
[03:45.873]	When they finally opened the gates, there were none left alive.
[03:51.035]	The war was over.
[04:38.211]	Sometimes it’s hard to remember
[04:43.342]	The city was not always here
[04:48.082]	Animals long since extinguished
[04:52.526]	Roaming with nothing to fear
[04:57.192]	Once they were known as equestrians
[05:01.881]	And Ilium honoured its past
[05:07.336]	Statues are all that remain now
[05:10.928]	Their riders have fallen at last
[05:14.576]	From broken horses, silent and stone
[05:22.575]	Broken horses, like cracked and fractured bone
[05:30.368]	Broken horses, all because of me
[05:38.335]	Broken horses
[05:42.609]	Broken horses
[05:46.060]	Broken...
