歌词
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake:
或许你曾听闻瓦洛厄尔湖的传说
Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep
海中的巨兽勒维亚坦起初隐藏在那片深海
She kept them hidden from the plague
她保护着她深眠的孩子远离那肆虐的瘟疫
But have you heard the story of my mother’s fate?
但你可曾听说过关于我的母亲的命运的传说呢
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillow case
她把我们包在枕套里留在了下着雨的底特律
Fortune for the paper weight
如纸般轻重的珍宝
We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid
我们跟着她去了靠近印度的连帽大鳖
She wept among the ****s, hide and seek, for the fallen chief
她在水草里哭泣,躲藏又寻找着那坠落的首长
Spathiphyllum on his grave
他坟墓上的白鹤芋花啊
And like the cedar wax wing, she was drunk all day
像是雪松太平鸟的羽翼啊,她整日沉浸其中
We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the crate
我们把她放在铺着床单,装点着花圈蜡烛的柳条篮上
As the monster showed its face
正如巨兽露出他的真面目
As she waits for her children in the shade
正如她在暗处等着她的孩子们
Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade
魔王或是神灵鬼怪在游行
No oblation will bring her back to our place
没有祭品可以把她带回我们的身边
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake
她藏匿在瓦洛厄尔湖的深处
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake
汹涌的海浪抑制着羽蛇神的火焰
Charybdis in its shallow grave
埋葬在浅滩的羽蛇神卡律布迪斯
She gave us one last feature: the fullness of her face
她给我们最后一个模样:她全部的面容
In the shade of “Hin-mah-too-yah…” (Red Napoleon)
在暗处的英勇的拿破仑
As the demon took her place
正如恶魔占有她的灵魂
As we wait for the waters to reside
正如我们等待着河水能停驻
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride
她无可比拟的坚忍和骄傲啊
When the dragon submerged we knew she had died
当巨龙下潜时,我们知道她已经消逝
