Album: Bú-Tik (2013) - Spinefarm Records / Universal Music [Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace 暮沉武德殿] Lyrics(歌詞) Walls collapsing all around Heads high face our own demise Bolts of lightning strike the ground Demons of the mind excise Gunfire sounds the first attack Brothers in arms to the end Putrid bodies on their backs Sacred symbols will defend Who now stands before me like a ghost within a dream? (Within a dream) When did come the day when things became not what they seem? (Not what they seem) Outside of this palace where my loyalties to lie (Where do they lie?) For the gods or demons with but one I choose to die Bridges crashing to the ground Heads high watch them as they fall Tremble at the thunderous sound Hear the siren’s final call Cannons ripping us to shreds Brothers, where have you all gone? Demons collecting the dead Spirit’s final breath is drawn Who now stands before me like a ghost within a dream? (Within a dream) When did come the day when things became not what they seem? (Not what they seem) Outside of this palace where my loyalties to lie (Where do they lie?) For the gods or demons with but one I choose to die (I choose to die) Ghosts that I see, haunting my dreams Surrounding me, what to believe? Sunset decries, nightfall’s demise Mirror’s reflection is blinding I cannot see Timeless sentence Sounds of the shackles grow louder, insanity Timeless sentence Timeless sentence Timeless sentence Timeless sentence Timeless sentence War of the ages, the violence returns Immortal warriors escape from the urn Hundreds of years and we pledge hundreds more Infinite hatred for those at our door 千年也萬年 我孤魂已束縛佇遮...千年也萬年 生死簿的名字 目睭前一逝一逝...生死簿的名字 千年也萬年 生死簿的名字 War of the ages, the violence returns Immortal warriors escape from the urn Hundreds of years and we pledge hundreds more Infinite hatred for those at our door 千年也萬年 Violence returns 生死簿的名字 Souls will not burn Burst from the urn Violence returns 千年也萬年？ [Inspiration of this song] The BuTik Palace in Puli was used as command headquarters by Japanese colonial government to repress a Seediq Aboriginal Uprising in Wushe in 1930. During the initial phase of the 228 Massacre in 1947, militiamen in Taiwan also used it as its command headquarters. The chants in the second half of the song are the names of all martyrs who sacrificed themselves in resistance against dictators and fought for independence. ※ 暮沉武德殿：埔里武德殿為1930年霧社事件中日本政府的剿番本部。亦為1947年二二八事件的台灣民兵指揮本部。本曲後半段念咒般低吟，為台灣史上對抗獨裁、爭取獨立自主而犧牲的所有先烈姓名。 Story behind this video: 這支影片背後的故事： 特別感謝台南市政府對「暮沉武德殿」這支MV與花絮的協助。
