Modern (2006 Digital Remaster) 歌词
Jericho's strange, throbbing with life at its heart
奇怪的杰里科,心脏上跳着悸动的生命
people are drawn together, simultaneously torn apart....
人们都被聚在一起,又同时被撕裂。。。
Foundations are shattered in the city
被堵住的门内
inside the barricaded doors;
城市的地基支离破碎
hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls,
藏匿在他们的城墙内,孤独正如那黑夜坠落
maybe the people are waiting for trumpets.
也许人们正在等待小号的呼叫
Babylon's strange, seventh wonder of the earth
奇怪的巴比伦,世界第七大奇迹
gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt
花园被色彩斑斓的火焰吞噬,渐渐在尘土中腐坏
and, with your head on fire, you can't really see.
而且,因为你头上的火,你并不能真正看见这一切
The hanging gardens sing,
空中花园正在歌唱
but with a hollow ring :
却伴随着空荡回响的钟声
the life is false, it's killing me....
生命是种错误,它正在残杀我。。。
Don't look back or you'll turn to stone;
别回头,否则你就会变成石头
look around before your life is overgrown
到处察看,在你的生命生长过度前
with concrete slabs.
与那些混凝土厚片作伴吧
On your back the searching eyes that stab
锐利的目光在你背后捅了你一刀
between chintz curtains, glinting,
闪烁于印花窗帘间
but never owning to a name...
却从不属于某个名字
like the inmates of asylums
像收容院里的精神病人
all the citizens are contagiously insane....
所有的市民都在传播疯狂
Atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age
奇怪的亚特兰蒂斯,某天突然爆炸
no-one really knows what to do,
没人真的知道怎么办
and the city is a cage.
城市已经成为牢笼
It traps in ashen hours and concrete towers,
它困住了苍白的时间和那混凝土高楼
imprisons in the social order.
社会秩序下的囚犯
The city's lost its way,
这座城已迷失自我
madness takes hold today...
现在疯狂控制了它
I can't live under water.
掉进水里我会死
I can't live under water.
掉进水里我会死
I can't live under water.
掉进水里我会死
