Written By：Elvis Coste

If dust could only talk

如果尘埃能言说

What would we hear it say

它会告诉我们什么

Before it's brushed aside

在被拂去之前

Just as it's swept away

就像被扫走一样

It's just the evidence

它只是证据

It's of no consequence

无关紧要

It's only flesh and bone

它只是血肉之躯

Why don't you leave it alone

为何你不放过它

If dust could only speak

若尘埃能言说

Caught in a falling beam

困于坠落的光束中

If dust could only cry

若尘埃能哭泣

If dust could only scream

若尘埃能尖叫

For it's the single witness that might testify

因为它是唯一可能作证的见证者

Could I spit out the truth

我能否吐露真相

Or would you rather just swallow a lie

还是你宁愿吞下谎言

But dust is always caught beneath a coat of pain

但尘埃总是被痛苦的表面所掩盖

Beneath the marble fingernails of kings and saints

在国王与圣人的大理石指甲下

And in the theatre curtain where they hang a drape

在悬挂帷幕的剧院窗帘中

Or in the ticket pocket where your hands escape

或在你的手逃离的票袋里

Before they start to wander

在它们开始游走之前

Or they start to shrink

或在它们开始退缩之前

You rub your eye a little and appear to blink

你轻轻揉了揉眼睛，似乎眨了眨眼

And then she caught you staring

然后她发现你在凝视

She knows what you're thinking

她知晓你心中所想

What got into you is not a ghost as such

潜入你心的并非幽灵

It was just dust

那只是尘埃

Here comes the juggernaut

巨兽正步步逼近

Here come The Poisoners

投毒者紧随其后

They choke the life and land

他们扼杀生命与土地

And rob the joy from us

从我们手中夺走欢乐

Why do they taste of sugar

为何他们尝起来如糖般甜美

Oh when they're made of money

当他们被金钱所铸就

Here come the Lamb of God

上帝的羔羊降临

And the butcher's boy Sonny

还有屠夫的儿子桑尼

Well I believe we just

我相信我们终究

Become a speck of dust

化作一粒尘埃

Well I believe we just

我相信我们终究

Become a speck of dust

化作一粒尘埃

Well I believe we just

我相信我们终究

Become a speck of dust

化作一粒尘埃
