The End - The Doors
This is the end,
Beautiful friend
This is the end,
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be,
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some, stranger's hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman, wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane,
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best,
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us,
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother, I want to fuck you
Come on baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock,
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock,
Come on, yeah
Kill, kill, kill,
This is the end,
Beautiful friend
This is the end,
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
고막을 찢을 듯한 헬리콥터의 기계음과 힘없이 지상에 서있는 것들에 대한 융단 폭격의 굉음, 그리고 웅장하게 울려 퍼지는 바그너의 [발퀴레의 비행, Ride of the Valkyries] 이들이 어우러져 만들어 내는 장엄한 협주곡을 배경으로, 헬리콥터의 힘겨운 날개짓과 폭격의 검붉은 불꽃이 화면을 가득 채웠었다.
프랜시스 포드 코폴라 감독의 영화 [지옥의 묵시록]의 이 장면을 보면서 사람들은 삶의 터전을 파괴하고 인간을 사냥하며 전쟁을 즐기는 인간의 광기에 섬뜩해 했었다. 이 영화는 바로 처참한 살육과 파괴로 얼룩진 인간의 20세기에 대한 반성이었다.
