Babel

Cuz I know that time has numbered my days

因为我深知，时日已遭清算

And I'll go along with everything you say

我会顺从你所说的一切，随波逐流

But I'll ride home laughing

但我会放声大笑，策马而归

Look at me now

且看我如今模样

The walls of my town

我城池的围墙

They come crumbling down

终究轰然倒塌

And my ears hear the call

我耳畔回荡着声声召唤

Of my unborn sons

来自我那未降生的子嗣

And I know their choices color all I've done

我深知，他们的抉择染就了我一生的行径

But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son

但我会向那守望者之子，陈述这一切

I never lived a year better spent in love

岁岁年年，唯有在爱中不曾虚掷

Cuz I know my weakness know my voice

只因我洞悉软弱，亦寻回心声

So now believe in grace and choice

故而此刻，且信奉恩典与抉择

And I know perhaps my heart is farce

我深知，或许我这颗心本就是场荒诞剧

But I'll be born without a mask

但我终将剥落假面，赤诚而生

Woo

Like the city that nurtured

犹如那座城，曾滋养过

My greed and my pride

我的贪婪，我的傲慢

I stretch my arms into the sky

我向着苍穹，极力舒展双臂

I cry Babel Babel Look at me now

我狂呼着：巴别，巴别，且看我如今模样

Then the walls of my town

于是我城池的围墙

They come crumbling down

终究轰然倒塌

You ask where will

你问，我们该立于何处

We stand in the winds that will howl

在这凛冽怒号的风中

As all we see will slip into the cloud

当目力所及的一切，皆没入云烟

So come down from your mountain

那么，请走下你的神坛

And stand where we've been

站在我们曾挣扎过的尘寰

You know our breath

你深知，我等气息之奄奄

Is weak and our body thin

躯壳之微末

Press my nose up

我卑微地紧贴着

To the glass around your heart

你心房外那层冰冷的玻璃

I should've known

我本该明了

I was weaker from the start

我从起初，便已注定溃败

You'll build your walls

你仍会筑起你的高墙

And I will play my bloody part

而我，将履行我血色的使命

To tear tear them down

将它们，彻底撕碎拆毁

Well I'm gonna tear tear them down

是的，我必将它们彻底摧毁

Cuz I know my weakness know my voice

只因我洞悉软弱，亦寻回心声

But I believe in grace and choice

但我信奉恩典与抉择

And I know perhaps my heart is farce

我深知，或许我这颗心本就是场荒诞剧

But I'll be born without a mask

但我终将剥落假面，赤诚而生
