歌词
I stood alone upon the highest cliff-top,
独自站在最高的悬崖顶上
looked down, around, and all that I could see
我向下远望，目光所及
were those that I would dearly love to share with
都是我绝对愿意一起分享的生物
crashing on quite blindly to the sea....
在盲目的宁静中撞毁一切冲向大海
I tried to ask what game this was
我竭力去探求这是什么游戏
but knew I would not play it:
但我不会加入它们
the voice, as one, as no-one, came to me....
声响，融为一体，又化为虚无，涌向了我
We have looked upon the heroes and they are found wanting;
我们所见过的英雄却也有不足
we have looked hard across the land but we can see no dawn;
我们的视线艰难地穿越大地却看不见黎明
we have now dared to sear the sky but we are still bleeding;
我们敢于用身躯烧焦天空却仍在流血
we are drawing near to the cliffs,
我们已逼近悬崖
now we can hear the call.
现在可以听到上天的呼唤了
The clouds are piled in mountain-shapes,
重云叠叠好似山峦
there is no escape except to go forward.
无路可退只有前进
Don't ask us for an answer now,
不要问为何
it's far too late to bow to that convention.
现在才遵从这习俗已经太迟了！
What course is there left but to die?
除了死亡我们还能去往何方？
We have looked upon the High Kings, found them less than mortals:
我们已见识过诸天之君尊却发现祂们并非不朽
their names are dust before the just march of our young, new law.
祂们的威名在我们年轻一代、新的法则坚定的行进中灰飞烟灭
Minds stumbling strong, we hurtle on into the dark portal;
神经跌跌撞撞，我们猛冲进黑暗之门
No-one can halt our final vault
没人能阻止我们的最后一跃
into the unknown maw.
跃进那未知的无底洞中
And as the Elders beat their brows
老者们愁眉不展
they know that it is really far too late now to stop us,
他们知道现在阻止我们真的已经太晚
for if the sky is seeded death
因为如果上天都注定死亡
what is the point in catching breath? Expel it.
多喘一口气又有什么意义？拥抱死亡吧！
What cause is there left but to die
在这寻找冥冥之物的飘曳之光中
in searching of something we're really not too sure of?"
除了死亡我们还能去往何方？
What cause is there left but to die?
除了去死我们还能怎么样？
I really don't know why.
我真的不知道原因
I know our ends may be soon but why do you make them sooner?
我知道我们都将迎来末日，为何你还想加速它（们）的降临？
Time may finally prove only the living move her and
时间最终可以证明，只有这些生物可以带走她
no life lies in the quicksand.
没有谁可以躺在流沙中（撒谎？）
Yes, I know it's
是的我知道一切已
out of control, out of control:
失去控制，走向崩坏
greasy machinery slides on the rails,
铁轨上滚动着沾满油污的机械
young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled.
年轻的精神和肉体都被牢牢钉在钢制辐条上
Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones;
齿轮撕裂了骨头，齿轮撕裂了身躯
iron-throated monsters are forcing the screams,
钢喉怪兽正让他们大声惨叫
mind and machinery box-press the dreams.
大脑和机械已将梦想钉入木箱
But there still is time....
但现在还有时间......
Cowards are they who run today, the fight is beginning...
逃兵即为懦夫，战斗已经打响
no war with knives, fight with our lives, lemmings can teach nothing;
没有武器，就用身躯而战，不可以旅鼠为师
death offers no hope, we must grope for the unknown answer,
死亡不能带来希望，我们必须摸索那未知的答案
unite our blood, abate the flood,
聚起我们的鲜血，抵抗这股洪水
avert the disaster.
阻止这场灾难
There's other ways than screaming in the mob:
别的路比在暴徒中吼叫更好
that makes us merely cogs of hatred.
他们只能把我们变成仇恨之齿轮
Look to the why and where we are,
想想原因，想想这是何方
look to yourselves and the stars,yes, and in the end
想想你自己还有那星空，是的，最终
what choice is there left but to live
在这拯救我们孩子的孩子的孩子的
in the hope of saving
的希望之中
our children's children's little ones?
除了求生还能如何？
What choice is there left but to live
除了活下去还能怎么样？
What choice is there left but to live
除了活下去还能怎么样？
What choice is there left but to live
除了活下去还能怎么样？
to save the little ones?
为了拯救后代们
What choice is there left but to try?
除了尝试还有什么机会？
What choice is there left but to try?
除了尝试还有什么机会？
What choice is there left but to try?
除了尝试还有什么机会？
