[ti:The Hand That Signed The Paper] [ar:Richard Burton] [al:Richard Burton Reads Dylan Thomas] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Hand That Signed The Paper - Richard Burton [00:01.23]The hand that signed the paper felled a city; [00:04.25] [00:05.41]Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath [00:08.46] [00:09.59]Doubled the globe of [00:10.91]Dead and halved a country; [00:12.62] [00:13.76]These five kings did a king to death [00:17.00] [00:18.83]The mighty hand leads to a sloping shoulder [00:21.13]The finger joints are cramped with chalk; [00:23.81] [00:24.99]A goose's quill has put an end to murder [00:27.75] [00:28.86]That put an end to talk [00:30.68] [00:32.47]The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever [00:35.29]And famine grew and locusts came; [00:37.62] [00:38.98]Great is the hand that holds dominion over [00:41.71]Man by a scribbled name [00:43.56] [00:45.96]The five kings count the dead but do not soften [00:48.81]The crusted wound nor pat the brow; [00:52.30] [00:54.03]A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven; [00:57.08] [00:58.35]Hands have no tears to flow
