Scorched Earth (2005 Digital Remaster)

Just one crazy moment while the dice are cast,
当骰子掷出，这只是一个疯狂的瞬间
He looks into the future and remembers what is past,
他展望未来，回首过去
Wonders what he's doing on this battlefield,
思索他在这片战场上的所作所为
Shrugs to his shadow, impatient, too proud yet to kneel.
对着他的影子耸肩，不耐烦地，过于骄傲尚未屈服
In his wake he leaves scorched earth and work in vain;
他离开了灼热的大陆，徒劳地走着
Smoke drifts up behind him, he is free again,
烟在他身后飘起，他重获自由了
Free to run before the onslaught of a deadly foe,
可以在致命仇敌的猛攻降临之前逃跑
Leaving nothing fit for pillage, hardly leaving home.
没有留下任何适合掠夺的东西，几乎从未离开家
It's far too late to turn, unless it's to stone.
现在回头太晚了，除非它变成石头（？）
Charging madly forward, tracks across the snow;
疯狂地向前冲去，足迹穿过雪地
Wind screams madness to him, ever on he goes,
风向他疯狂地尖叫，一路跟随着他
Leaving spoor to mark his passage, trace his weary climb.
留下足迹标记他走过的路径，追踪他疲惫的攀登
Cross the moor and make the headland
穿过沼泽攀过岬角
Stumbling, wayward, blind.
跌撞，难以捉摸又盲目
In the end his footprints extend as one single line.
最后，他的足迹延伸成一条线
This latest exponent of heresy is goaded into an attack,
这位最新的邪说倡导者，已经被刺激着卷入一场进攻
Persuaded to charge at his enemy.
被说服去冲向他的敌人
Too late, he knows it is,
他知道这太迟了
Too late now to turn back, too soon by far to falter.
想要回头太晚了，到目前为止，进攻减弱为时尚早
The past sits uneasily at his rear,
过去不安地处在他身后
He's walking right into the trap,
他正向陷阱走去
Surrounded, but striving through will and fear.
被意志和恐惧包围，但他在其中奋斗
Ahead of him he knows there waits an ambuscade
在他前面，他知道那里有埋伏
But the dice slip through his fingers
但骰子从他的指尖滑落
And he's living from day to day,
他日复一日地活着
Carrying his world around upon his back,
在背上背着他的世界
Leaving nothing behind but the tell-tale of his track.
除了他的足迹，什么也没有留下
He will not be hostage, he will not be slave,
他不会成为人质，也不会成为奴隶
No snare of past can trap him, though the future may.
任何过去的圈套都不能诱捕他，即使未来可能
Still he runs and burns behind him in advanced retreat;
他仍然在超前的撤退中在他后面奔跑并且燃烧
Still his life remains unfettered he denies defeat.
他的生活仍然无拘无束，他否认失败
It's far too late to turn, unless it's to stone.
回头为时已晚，除非变成石头（？）
Leave the past to burn at least that's been his own.
让过去燃烧，至少那曾属于他自己
Scorched earth, that's all that's left when he's done;
他离开的时候留下一片焦土
Holding nothing but beholden to no-one,
对任何人也没有感激之情
Claiming nothing, out of no false pride, he survives.
没有任何虚假的骄傲，什么也没宣布，他活下来了
Snow tracks are all that's left to be seen
雪迹，是唯一留下来能看到的东西
Of a man who entered the course of a dream,
属于一个进入梦想的人
Claiming nothing but the life he's known
只宣布了他所知道的生活
This, at least, has been his own.
这次，至少，生活属于他自己
