A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers (Medley) (2005 Digital Remaster)

i. Eyewitness
Still waiting for my saviour, storms tear me limb from limb
仍等待着我的救主，风暴正撕碎我的肢体
My fingers feel like seaweed, I'm so far out I'm too far in
感觉手指像海草一样，我远远地疏离又深深地沉溺
I am a lonely man, my solitude is true
我是个孤独之人, 我品尝真切的寂寞
My eyes have borne stark witness, and now my nights are numbered, too
我的眼睛看遍荒凉景象，如今我也时日无多
I've seen the smiles on dead hands
我眼见了那些死者手上的微笑
The star shines, but they're not for me
群星闪耀，却不是为了我
I prophesy disaster and then I count the cost
我预知灾祸，而后代价也由我计量
I shine but, shining, dying, I know that I am almost lost
我闪耀，却在闪耀中渐渐死亡，我知道我已经迷失方向
On the table lies blank paper and my tower is built on stone
桌上放着空白纸张，我的高塔建在岩石上
I only have blunt scissors, I only have the bluntest home
我只有磨损的剪刀，我家是世上最饱经沧桑
I've been the witness and the seal of death
我从来是死亡的见证和封印
lingers in the molten wax that is my head
低沉在熔融烛光里的，是我头颅的阴影
When you see the skeletons, of sailing-ship spars sinking low
当你看见那些游船残骸，桅杆深深沉在海底
You'll begin to wonder if the points of all the ancients myths are solemnly directed straight at you...
你会开始怀疑是否所有古老神话的主旨都在严厉地径直指向你......

iii. Eyewitness
No time now for contrition, the time for that's long past
现在没时间供我后悔，那件事已过去久远
The walls are thin as tissue and if I talk I'll crack the glass
墙面轻薄如同薄纱，我一开口玻璃就要震裂
So I only think on how it might have been
但我止不住思考，原本这事可以怎样结束
locked in silent monologue, in silent scream
把自己锁在无声的独白和静寂的尖叫中
I am much too tired to speak, and as the waves crash on the bleak
太累了我已说不出话，而当滚滚波涛撞碎
stones of the tower I start to freak, and find that I am overcome....
在荒凉的塔基岩石上，我开始颤抖，发觉我已被击溃......
iv. S.H.M.
"Unreal, unreal" ghost helmsmen scream and fall in through the sky
“假的，假的” 幽灵舵手尖叫，他们穿过天空往下坠落
Not breaking through my seagull shrieks - no breaks until I die
除非我死了，他们不可能冲破海鸥的尖啸
The spectres scratch on window-slits,the hollowed faces and mindless grins
恶灵们在窗玻璃上抓出裂痕，那些空洞的面孔和苍白的笑
are only intent on destroying what they've lost
只想把他们失去的东西通通消灭掉
I crawl the wall till steepness ends in the vertical fall
我顺着墙攀爬直到陡坡尽头抵抗无边的下坠
My pail has sailed into the sea -no joking hopes at dawn
我的小桶飘向了海深处——黎明之际，玩笑般的希望也不见
White bone shine in the iron-jaw mask
白骨在铁颚面具里寒光闪闪
Lost mastheads pierce the freezing dark
不复存在的桅杆顶端，刺穿冰冷的黑暗
and parallel my isolated tower...
和我与世隔绝的灯塔互成平行……
No paraffin for the flame
再无石蜡支持火焰燃烧
No harbour left to gain
也无港湾为我供给

Like a dog in the night I have run to a manger
