歌词与中文翻译
Under the ruins of a walled city
在城墙的废墟下
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light
摇摇欲坠的塔楼笼罩在黄色的光束下
No flags of truce
没有停战旗帜
no cries of pity
没有同情的呼喊
The siege guns had been
攻城的炮火
pounding through the night
彻夜轰鸣
It took a day to build the city
我们建造这座城市花了整天时间
We walked through it's streets in the afternoon
下午我们穿过城市的街道
As I returned across the fields I'd known
穿过田野时
I recognized the walls that I'd once made
我认出了我曾经建造的城墙
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
走在我买下地雷的土地上
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
因为害怕我不得不停下脚步
And if I built this
如果我建造了这个
fortress around your heart
你心中的堡垒
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
将你用战壕和铁丝网包围
Then let me build a bridge
那么让我建一座桥
for I cannot fill the chasm
为我无法填补的鸿沟
And let me set the battlements on fire
让我点燃城垛的火焰
Then I went off to fight some battle
然后我上了战场
That I'd invented inside my head
这些在我脑中萌生的想法
Away so long,for years and years
在我脑中想了很久很久，年复一年
You probably thought or even
你可能以为
wished that I was dead
甚至希望我的死亡
While the armies are all sleeping
当整个军队沉睡
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
在我们制作的残破旗帜下
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
走在我埋下的地雷上
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
因为害怕我不得不停下脚步
And if I built this fortress around your heart
如果我建造了这个你心中的堡垒
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
用战壕和铁丝网包围你
Then let me build a bridge
那么让我建造一座桥
for I cannot fill the chasm
为我无法填补的鸿沟
And let me set the battlements on fire
让我点燃城垛的火焰
The prison has now become your home
监狱现在成了你的家
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
一个你准备好付出代价的判决
It took a day to build the city
我们花了整天时间建造这座城市
We walked through it's streets in the afternoon
下午我们穿过城市的街道
As I returned across the lands I'd known
回来时我走过熟悉的土地
I recognized the fields where
我认出了
I'd once played
我曾经战斗过的战场
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
走在我埋下的地雷上
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
因为害怕我不得不停下脚步
And if I built this fortress around your heart
如果我建造了这个你心中的堡垒
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
用战壕和铁丝网包围你
Then let me build a bridge
那么让我建造一座桥
for I cannot fill the chasm
为我无法填补的鸿沟
And let me set the battlements on fire
让我点燃城垛的火焰
