歌词
Light ended the night but the song remained
光明结束了夜晚，但这首歌依然存在
And I was hiding by the stair half here
我躲在楼梯旁边，拾起回忆
Half there past the lashing rain
记得那里的一半时光在都有猛烈的雨
And as the sky e would petal white old innocent lies came to mind
当天空的云朵如花瓣散开时，白色的、古老的、无辜的谎言浮现在脑海中。（这里petal用法可以当作动词）
As we stood congregated at the firing line
当我们站在火线前（指Francisco de Goya的画作，描绘了西班牙俘虏被枪杀的场景）
Night ended the fight but the song remained
夜幕结束了战斗，但这首战歌依然保留着
And so I headed to the wall
所以我朝墙那边走去
Turned tail to call to the new domain
调转尾巴，调用新领地（foxes have tails，军国主义的意象）
As if in the sight of sea you're suddenly free
仿佛在大海中你突然自由了
But it's all the same
但那又有什么区别呢？
Oh but I can hear you loud in the center
哦，但是我在中间能听到你的声音
Aren't we made to be crowded together like leaves
我们不是生来就要像树叶一样挤在一起吗？（Goya绘画中的人物即呈树叶状）
Was I too slow did you change overnight
我是不是太慢了，你一夜之间就变了
Second son on the other line
我的二子，在另一条队伍里（也是军国主义的象征）
Now back in our town as a castaway
现在回到我们的小镇就像一个被遗弃的人
I'm reminded of the time it all fell in line on the third of May
我想起了5月3日这一切发生的时候（fell in line解释同上）
As if it were designed painted in sand to be washed away
好像它是在沙子里画的，要被冲走
Oh but I can hear you loud in the center
哦，但是我在中间能听到你的声音
Aren't we made to be crowded together like leaves
我们不是生来就要像树叶一样挤在一起吗？
Was I too slow did I change overnight
我是不是太慢了，你一夜之间就变了
Second son for the second time
我的二子，在另一条队伍里（也是军国主义的象征）
Can I be light and free
我能轻松应对吗？
If I lead you through the fury will you call to me
如果我带你穿过愤怒，你会召唤我吗？
And is all that I might owe you carved on ivory
我欠你的，只是一副象牙雕刻吗？（指scrimshaw兄弟一样的义务关系）
But all will fade all I say all I needed
但所有的一切都会磨淡我所需要的
As a flash in the eye I wouldn't deny all receded
眨眼之间，我不会否认一切都消逝了
Life unfolds in pools of gold
生命在金色池子中悄然蔓延（活着的每一天都是上天的恩赐）
I am only owed this shape if I make a line to hold
我只有在那个队伍里时才能超越自我
To be held within one's self is deathlike oh I know
被抱在某人怀里，就像死亡一样，哦，我知道
But all will be for mine and me as we make it
但一切都是为了我做的
And the size of the fray can't take it away they won't make it
而这场战争的规模也无法带走我们的记忆，他们不会成功的
I was a fool
我真是个彻头彻尾的傻瓜
Crime after crime to confess to
一次又一次罪行供认
But I hold the fleet angel she'll bless you
但当你握着天使时，她会祝福你的
Hold fast to the wing hold fast to the wing
我要紧紧抓住她的翅膀，紧紧抓住她的翅膀
