歌词
(这首是Neil在跟Geddy妈妈聊过她在集中营里的日子后写下的歌)
我们能做的 仅剩生还
(曲名源于NASA在KSC的发射区域,RUSH 81年在那里参观了第一架航天飞机哥伦比亚号的发射,此行亦是前专中Countdown的创作之源)
我们能给予自己的帮助 仅是活着
All that we can do is just survive
衣衫褴褛的人们排着错落不齐的队
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
尸骨被他们拖走
Ragged lines of ragged grey
咆哮的守卫们和证据确凿
Skeletons, they shuffle away
会淘汰不走运的那些人
Shouting guards and smoking guns
我抓紧铁丝网 直至手指流血
Will cut down the unlucky ones
一个不会愈合的伤口
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
一颗麻木的心
A wound that will not heal
期盼噩梦消散
A heart that cannot feel
期盼明天我们都能被释放
Hoping that the horror will recede
从厌恶到魔怔
Hoping that tomorrow well all be freed
从祷告到亵圣
Sickness to insanity
日复一日 周复一周 月复一月
Prayer to profanity
不再感受到饥饿
Days and weeks and months go by
虚弱到无法哭泣
Dont feel the hunger
我听见从集中营大门传来的枪声
Too weak to cry
是拯救者的到来吗?
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
我应期盼还是恐惧?
Are the liberators here?
对我的父亲和兄弟 已太迟
Do I hope or do I fear?
但我必须扶起我的母亲
For my father and my brother, its too late
我们是最后的生还者吗?
But I must help my mother stand up straight
我们是仅剩幸存的人类吗?
Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?
