居然被我找到原文了。可能不完整。还带乱码的。
感觉是某个演说，似乎是关于美国独立的，跟二战木有关系，在视频里纯粹当背景音乐的。
只是感觉啊，知道的来说说
FRANCES SCOTT KEY WAS A LAWYER IN BALTIMORE.
THE COLONIES WERE IN ENGAGED IN VICIOUS CONFLICT
WITH THE MOTHER COUNTRY BRITAIN.
BECAUSE OF THIS CONFLICT AND THE PROTRACTEDNESS OF IT
THEY HAD ACCUMULATED PRISONERS ON BOTH SIDES.
THE AMERICAN COLONIES HAD PRISONERS AND THE BRITISH HAD
PRISONERS. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT INITIATED A MOVE ---
THEY WENT TO THE BRITISH AND THEY SAID LET US NEGOTIATE FOR
THE RELEASE OF THESE PRISONERS? THEY SAID WE WANT TO SEND
A MAN OUT TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU.?BR>
THEY WERE HOLDING THE AMERICAN PRISONERS IN BOATS ABOUT
1000 YARDS OFF SHORE. THEY SAID WE WANT TO SEND A MAN
NAMED FRANCIS SCOTT KEY --- HE WILL COME OUT AND NEGOTIATE
TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE A MUTUAL EXCHANGE.?BR>
ON THE APPOINTED DAY, IN A ROWBOAT, HE WENT OUT TO THIS BOAT
AND HE NEGOTIATED WITH THE BRITISH OFFICIALS.
THEY REACHED A CONCLUSION THAT MEN COULD BE EXCHANGED
ON A ONE FOR ONE BASES.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY, JUBILANT WITH THE FACT THAT HE HAD BEEN
SUCCESSFUL, WENT DOWN BELOW IN THE BOAT AND WHAT HE FOUND
WAS A CARGO HOLD FULL OF HUMANITY --- MEN. AND HE SAID MEN,
I GOT NEWS FOR YOU TONIGHT --- YOU扲E FREE? HE CONTINUED,
TONIGHT I HAVE NEGOTIATED SUCCESSFULLY YOUR RETURN TO THE
COLONIES. YOU扡L BE TAKEN OUT OF THIS BOAT, OUT OF THIS FILTH,
OUT OF YOUR CAIN扴.?
AS HE WENT BACK UP ON BOARD TO ARRANGE FOR THEIR PASSAGE
TO SHORE THE ADMIRAL CAME AND SAID,
WE HAVE A SLIGHT PROBLEM --- WE WILL STILL HONOR
OUR COMMITMENT TO RELEASE THESE MEN
BUT IT WILL BE MERLE ACADEMIC AFTER TONIGHT ---
IT WON扵 MATTER.?
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? THE ADMIRAL
REPLIED, WELL MR. KEY, TONIGHT WE HAVE LAID AN ULTIMATUM
UPON THE COLONIES. YOUR PEOPLE WILL EITHER CAPITULATE AND
LAY DOWN THE COLORS OF THAT FLAG THAT YOU THINK SO MUCH OF
OR YOU SEE THAT FORT RIGHT OVER THERE --- FORT HENRY? ---
WE扲E GOING TO REMOVE IT FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.?
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?? THE
ADMIRAL SAID, 揝CAN THE HORIZON OF THE SEA.? AND AS HE
LOOKED HE COULD SEE HUNDREDS OF LITTLE DOTS. THE ADMIRAL
CONTINUED, 揟HAT扴 THE ENTIRE BRITISH WAR FLEET. ALL OF THE
× POWER, ALL OF THE ARMAMENT IS BEING CALLED UPON TO
DEMOLISH THAT FORT. IT WILL BE HERE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE
IN A MATTER OF ABOUT TWO AND A HALF HOURS. THE WAR扴 OVER,
THESE MEN WOULD BE FREE ANY WAYS.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID, 揧OU CAN扵 SHELL THAT FORT! THAT扴 A
LARGE FORT --- IT扴 FULL OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN --- IT扴
PREDOMINATELY NOT A MILITARY FORT!? THEY SAID, 揇ON扵
WORRY ABOUT IT --- WE扸E LEFT THEM A WAY OUT.? HE SAID,
WHAT扴 THAT?? THE ADMIRAL RESPONDED, 揇O YOU SEE THAT
FLAG WAY UP ON THE RAMPART? WE HAVE TOLD THEM THAT IF
THEY WILL LOWER THAT FLAG THE SHELLING WILL STOP
IMMEDIATELY AND WE扡L KNOW THAT THEY SURRENDERED AND
YOU扡L BE UNDER BRITISH RULE.?BR>
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY WENT DOWN BELOW AND TOLD THE MEN WHAT
WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. AND THEY SAID HOW MANY SHIPS??HE
SAID, HUNDREDS!? THE SHIPS GOT CLOSER --- FRANCIS SCOT KEY
WENT BACK UP ON TOP. HE TOLD THE PRISONERS BELOW MEN I扡L
SHOUT DOWN TO YOU WHAT扴 GOING ON AS WE WATCH.?BR>
AS TWILIGHT BEGAN TO FALL AND AS THE HAZE HUNG OVER THE
OCEAN AS IT DOES AT SUNSET --- SUDDENLY THE BRITISH WAR FLEET
UNLEASHED ---- BOOM / BOOM / BOOM --- FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID,
揟HE SOUNDS WERE DEAFENING --- THERE WERE SO MANY ×S
THERE WAS NO RELIEVES.? HE SAID, 揑T WAS ABSOLUTELY
IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK OR HEAR? 揝UDDENLY THE SKY ALL THOUGH
DARK WAS SUDDENLY LIGHT.? HE CONTINUED, 揊ROM DOWN BELOW
ALL HE COULD HEAR THE MEN, THE PRISONERS, SAYING WAS 揟ELL
US WHERE THE FLAG IS? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH THE FLAG? 揑S
THE FLAG STILL FLYING OVER THE RAMPART? --- TELL US!?BR>
ONE HOUR --- TWO HOURS --- THREE HOURS INTO THE SHELLING ---
EVERY TIME A BOMB WOULD EXPLODE AND IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO
THE FLAG --- THEY COULD SEE THE FLAG IN THE ILLUMINATED RED
GLARE OF EACH BOMB AND FRANCIS SCOTT KEY WOULD REPORT
DOWN TO THE MEN BELOW ---- 揑T扴 STILL UP!? 揑T扴 NOT DOWN!?
THE ADMIRAL CAME AND HE SAID, 揧OUR PEOPLE ARE INSANE! ---
WHAT扴 THE MATTER WITH THEM? DON扵 THEY UNDERSTAND THIS
IS AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION??
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID, HE REMEMBERED
WHAT GEORGE WASHINGTON HAD SAID ---
HE SAID, 揟HE THING THAT SETS THE AMERICAN CHRISTIAN APART
FROM ALL OTHER PEOPLE IN THE WORLD IS
HE WILL DIE ON HIS FEET BEFORE HE扡L LIVE ON HIS KNEES.??BR>
THE ADMIRAL SAID, WE HAVE NOW INSTRUCTED ALL THE ×S TO
FOCUS ON THE RAMPART AND TO TAKE THAT FLAG DOWN.?HE
CONTINUED . . . 揙UR RECONNAISSANCE TELLS US THAT THAT FLAG
HAS BEEN HIT DIRECTLY AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND YET IT扴
STILL FLYING --- WE DON扵 UNDERSTAND THAT? BUT?HE SAID, 揘OW
WE ARE ABOUT TO BRING EVERY ×, FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS,
TO BEAR ON THAT POINT.? FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID THE BARRAGE
WAS UNMERCIFUL --- ALL THAT HE COULD HEAR WERE THE MEN
DOWN BELOW PRAYING THE PRAYER,
揋OD KEEP THAT FLAG FLYING WHERE WE LAST SAW IT?BR>
SUNRISE CAME --- HE SAID THERE WAS A HEAVY MIST HANGING OVER
THE LAND BUT THE RAMPART WAS TALL ENOUGH --- THERE STOOD
THE FLAG --- COMPLETELY NON-DESCRIPTIVE IN SHREDS ---
THE FLAG POLE ITSELF WAS AT A CRAZY ANGLE
BUT THE FLAG WAS STILL AT THE TOP.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY WENT ABOARD AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO
FORT HENRY TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED --- AND WHAT HE FOUND
HAD HAPPENED WAS THAT THAT FLAG POLE AND THAT FLAG HAD
SUFFERED REPETITIOUS DIRECT HITS AND WHEN IT HAD FALLEN
THAT MEN, FATHERS, WHO KNEW WHAT IT MEANT FOR THAT FLAG
TO BE ON THE GROUND --- ALL THOUGH KNOWING THAT ALL THE
BRITISH ×S WERE TRAINED ON IT --- WALKED OVER AND HELD IT
UP HUMANLY UNTIL THEY DIED. THERE BODIES WERE REMOVED
AND OTHERS TOOK THEIR PLACE.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY SAID WHAT HELD THAT FLAG POLE IN PLACE AT
THAT UNUSUAL ANGLE WERE PATRIOT扴 BODIES. HE PENNED THE SONG: |
