歌词
Well alright, no stars tonight
好吧 今晚没有星光
The moon must hide,can't bear to see my face
月亮一定是躲起来了 它也害怕看到我的脸
So many moons have passed
那么多月光逝去
So many Suns gone down
那么多日光落山
Too much blood under the bridge
桥下太多鲜血
Too many worlds turned upside down
太多世界被颠覆
The weed was golden and the fields were green
记得我第一次嗜血
In the summer 1617, the first time I ever drew blood
是和她在1617年的盛夏 那时野草金黄、田野青绿
She was such a beautiful and innocent child
她只是个美丽无邪的孩子
She never knew my soul was cursed for good
她不曾知晓我的灵魂已被永远诅咒
I fought to overcome my thirst I thought I could
我天真地以为能够克制住自己的饥渴
But when I kissed her lips, it came over me
但当我亲吻她的嘴唇 那欲望将我淹没
The beast in me ran wild
任身体里那困兽肆意妄为
As always, when I tried to get it on, I killed that which I yearned
我一次次想要开始生活 可我只会一如既往地扼杀我渴望着的美好
I want to be a flame and turn to ashes,
我想要成为火焰 化为灰烬
but I have never burned
可我从来不曾燃起
I want to fly up high and higher,
我渴望完全自由的飞翔
but I sink deep and deeper instead
可却愈发深地堕落
I want to be an angel or the devil himself,
我想成为天使或是魔鬼本尊
but I am nothing but a creature longing for the things I never can have
可我却永远是这卑贱的怪物 渴望那些永远得不到的美好
For the sake of satisfaction, I will suffer all torments
为了满足我的欲望 我愿忍受一切折磨
But our longings are delusive
我们的渴望如此虚幻
The hunger never ends
但它永远不会停止
When the world has drawn its final breath，
当这个世界咽下它的最后一口气
and extinguished all the light,
所有的光明都将消逝
there'll be nothing left but a lifeless wasteland,
除了一片了无声息的荒土 和永无止境的贪欲
and an endless appetite
什么都不会剩下
Nothing left but a soundless heartbeat,
是啊 什么都不会剩下
and a ruthless appetite
只有那无声的心跳和无情的贪欲
The preacher's daughter let me in her room
记得那牧师的女儿带我进了她的房间
In 1732, to love me was her doom那是1732年 爱上我即被宣判毁灭
With her own blood, I wrote a poem of love
在她象牙色的肌肤上 我用她的血
upon her ivory skin
写下一首爱的诗篇
And the bashful page of Napoleon the great
还有拿破仑大帝那腼腆的侍从
In 1813，he stood at the gate那是1813年 他就站在大门口
When I recall his candour, I can't help thinking
当我回忆起他的真诚 我不禁想
To kill him was a sin
毁灭他是一宗罪过
Each time I grasp for life, it slips away
每当我想要抓牢命运开始真正生活时 它便从我指缝间溜走
My vigor is a sham
我所谓的势力像个笑话
I want to grasp the world with all its mysteries
我想要领悟这世上所有奥秘
But I don't know who I am
可我甚至找不到自我
I long to fly in total freedom,
我渴望完全自由的飞翔
and yet my chains keep dragging me down
却无法摆脱束缚我的枷锁
but I am nothing but a creature full of lies and doubts
可我却永远是这怪物 充满着谎言和怀疑
And must it drown whoever I love？
它就非得置每一个我爱的人于死地吗？
The split goes through my very soul
这种分裂贯穿着我的灵魂
It's a wound that never mends
这是个永远无法愈合的伤口
No escape and no redemption
无法解脱 不存在救赎
The hunger never ends
只有永恒的欲望
There are those who believe in science,

or love and matters of the heart

in nations,in knowledge,
寄于民族 寄于真理
in hell and in heaven，
寄于地狱 寄于天堂
in sins and in virtues,
寄于罪恶 寄于美德
I want to be a fallen or an absolute saint,
我想成为至善的圣人或是堕落成为千古骂名
and the choice of wrong and right,
寄于对于善恶的抉择
But I know there is no other God
但是统治我们的唯一真主
but the ever inescapable,immoral,indestructible
是那无法逃离 毫无道德 无法摧毁的
and all consuming Appetite
永恒在耗人心血的贪欲
A prediction that I will now make

I'm sure I will be right
我确信它将被证实
When the next millennium finally comes,
在下一个千年开始之前
the god most worshiped in this world
那每个人侍奉的唯一的神
will be the God of Appetite
将是无尽的贪欲
