Waking the Dead

Waking the Dead - Matthew Perryman Jones

The sun is sinking

夕阳下沉

And I'm still dragging this bag of bones

我还拖着这个骨瘦如柴的人

Like a home-sick beggar

像一个思乡的乞丐

With a rockstar swagger

摇滚明星般趾高气昂

And a heart of stone

铁石心肠

My feet are on the riverbed

我的脚在河床上

My hands are far from innocent

我的手一点也不无辜

Have mercy on my soul

怜悯我的灵魂

Where did I go wrong

我这是怎么了

I lost my head

我昏了头

I want to dance on fire

我想在火焰上起舞

And be born again

浴火重生

I can hear the voice

我能听见那个声音

That's raising up the dead

将死亡的人唤起

Everything changes

世事多变

Colors start fading and the stars go dim

色彩开始消褪 星星黯淡无光

The clock keeps ticking

时钟滴答作响

And the rattlesnake's shaking

响尾蛇沙沙作响

As it sheds its skin

它在蜕皮

Kill your heart and never take a chance

致你的心于死地 但从来没有机会

Lock it up inside a picket fence-

把它锁在栅栏里

The illusions of control

控制的错觉

Where did I go wrong

我怎么了

I lost my head

我神志不清

I want to dance on fire

我在火焰上起舞

And be born again

浴火重生

I can hear the voice

我能听见那个声音

That's raising up the dead

将死亡的人唤起
