"Mendicant Priest" 是由美國樂隊 Guns N' Roses 演唱的一首歌曲,收錄於他們的專輯《Appetite for Destruction》。以下是這首歌的歌詞:
Verse 1:
I'm a beggar on the street
With nothing to my name
But a dream and a fist full of dreams
To hold onto until I'm one
Chorus:
Mendicant priest, stand alone
Underneath the crucifix
As your conscience dries up your hands
You must know, it's a life in vain
Verse 2:
If I were the ocean, you would be the sand
To your actions I will add, I am lost again
The rustle of my thoughts in your empty mind
A blindfold and a dream of time
Chorus:
Mendicant priest, stand alone
Underneath the crucifix
As your conscience dries up your hands
You must know, it's a life in vain
Bridge:
Your flesh is dry and so is your bed
And now you're sleeping in your head
So if you must walk in this world of deceit
Oh my dear, take this sword to guide you through the night
Chorus:
Mendicant priest, stand alone
Underneath the crucifix
As your conscience dries up your hands
You must know, it's a life in vain (and that's what it means to me)
Life in vain, life in vain (a life in vain)
Mendicant priest, alone... (standing alone)
