歌词
Today, I awoke from a dream
今天，我从一个梦中醒来
It was a revelation
那是一次启示
Almost Patmosian, whatever that means
几乎像是圣约翰的启示录，虽然我也不太清楚是什么意思
But that's evidently another story
但这显然友是另一个故事
It began with some standard bullshit fight with evil
它始于一场与邪恶的标准虚假战斗
In this case, an apparently all-powerful hooded and cloaked figure
此刻，是一个明显无所不能的戴着兜帽和斗篷的身影
We fled
我们逃走了
Yes, we
是的，我们
I was not alone
不止我一个
But there’s no escape
但没有逃脱的可能
You're on the tee, but there's nowhere to tee the ball up
你站在罚球线上，但却找不到地方放球
You’re trying to pack, but the chaos is too great
你想收拾行李，但混乱无比
You can't remember wherе you parked the car
你忘了把车停在哪里
The birds comе over, but the gun falls apart
鸟儿飞过来，但枪支却散架了
The train is late, or it doesn't stop
火车晚点了，甚至直接过了站
Your hands are too big, the world is too small
心比天高
You don't mean to plunge the knife under the waiter's ribs
你并不打算把刀插进别人的胸膛
But somehow you do
但不知怎么的，你做了
You push on the footbrake as hard as you can
你用尽全力踩下刹车
But the car keeps rolling slowly forwards onto the track
但车子却慢慢地朝轨道前进
Or backwards over the cliff
或者朝着悬崖后退
Well, it wasn't one of those
嗯....那不是那种情况
It was the final showdown
那是最后的决战
The final confrontation between good and evil
善与恶的最后对决
He caught up the wraith
他追上了那个鬼魂
He was strong, too strong to defeat in hand-to-hand
他很强大，太强大了，一拳一拳都无济于事
We tried everything
我们尽了一切努力
It all boiled down and expanded out and up
一切都化为乌有，升腾开来
Into a sort of Pilotwings videogame over a circus site
就像在马戏园里玩Pilotwings（一个飞行游戏）
Guy Laliberté gone mad
盖伊·拉利贝特（Guy Laliberté，一个专业赌徒）疯狂了
Canvas and people and towering smoke arches
船帆，汹涌人群，以及高耸于烟雾拱门
And juggling capsules and catching knives
杂技般的躲闪，漫天飞舞的飞刀都被一一化解
And teamwork and comrades
团队合作和服从
And it was complicated and exhausting
一切都那么复杂而我们已经精疲力尽
But we won the day
但最终我们赢得了
We stood, exhausted but triumphant
我们站在那里，疲惫，但准备凯旋
Smiling at one another
相互微笑
Clasping forearms and hugging
相互簇拥，拥抱
Like bad Shakespearean actors
像糟糕演员在莎士比亚的戏剧里
But then we looked up and around
但当我们仰头，环顾四周
They were gathering anew above us
他们再次聚集在我们上方
Darkening the sky
遮天蔽日
Hordes and hordes
成群结队
Too many to count
多不胜数
Poised to attack
准备向我们发动进攻
Overwhelming odds
对手具有压倒性的优势
Against we happy few
对付我们这些寥寥无几的傻子
We band of brothers
我们这些兄弟
We were prepared to die
准备好了战死沙场
Almost relieved to have given our all
甚至我们几乎松了口气，因为我们已经付出了一切
When just out of sight, to my right
此刻，就在我右边
Just beyond the periphery of my vision
在我的视线边缘
Like a raging bonfire in a high wind, someone spoke
就像狂风中的篝火，有人开口了
A voice, like Atticus Finch
一种声音，像艾迪斯·芬奇（杀死一只知更鸟的人物）
Begone!
消失吧！
The fire forward oblique voice ordained
这个声音好似炮弹一样发射出去！熊熊燃烧着烈火
It brooked no rebuttal
不容反驳
The hordes dissolved
人群溃散
And all around the circus tents
而马戏帐篷四周
Open saloon cars full of bad guys
停满了坏家伙的敞篷车
Milled around to make their escape
他们四处乱窜，试图逃离
Skidding in the mud
在泥泞中打滑逃窜
But there was nowhere to run
但无处可逃
It was over
一切结束了
