The Music Of The Night + 迥光返照 (文 by ty)

Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...

Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ...

Softly, deftly,
music shall surround you ...
Feel it, hear it,
closing in around you ...
Open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight -
the darkness of the music of the night ...

Let your mind start a journey
through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts
of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you
long to be !
Only then can you belong to me ...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write -
the power of the music of the night ...

You alone can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night . . .


在美国介入越南内战最高峰的时期,有超过五十万美军进驻南方。由于当时越共游击队采用地道战对美军作贴身攻击,使到美军伤亡惨重,每天有近千伤亡。听说一时用来打包尸体的塑膠袋也告短缺。南越气候炎熱,温度平均33度C,加上湿度,感覺有38度以上。处理这麽多的尸体,很成问题。美国政府便在西贡新山一飞机场建造了一个庞大的尸体处理中心。这中心用高薪专雇用华人在里面工作。为什麽呢?因为当地华人对这场战争和政治不感兴趣,而且不会把中心里面的伤亡数字泄露给美国传媒。大部份华人都做清理尸体的工作,都是夜班的。据说美军尸体在空运回夏威夷前,先被开膛剖腹,取去所有内脏,然后打包放入冷房,等机运回国。

我的街坊亚华,正当年轻力壮,看到华文报登载美国政府高薪招请”夜班医务卫生”工作人员,一到应徵便被取绿。做了一段时间,朋友问他在里边做啥工作,他都吞吞吐吐地不想说。直到后来他突然患上了精神病,被解雇了,朋友才从他家人口里知道事情:

一个月黑风高的晚上,亚华照常地推着一具断了一腿,被榴弹炮炸了半个头的黑人大兵尸体,等着入去殓房做开膛剖腹的处理工作。突然间那具尸体坐了起来,把站在旁边的亚华牢牢抱住,死不肯放。吓得亚华大声叫喊和挣扎。後来要由几个美军医务人员才能解开那尸体的”熊抱”。

之後,亚华便患上了精神病,终日自言自语。他的家人请了几个道士,法师来家作法驱魔,都起不了作用。至于为什麼已被宣告死亡的尸体会突然坐起来,还把人牢 牢地抱着,据说是”迥光返照”的现象。



祝大家万圣节快乐!

听说过,没见过。所以还是先绑起来,然后再操作为安。
