I'm coming now,I'm coming to reward them
现在我来了,要让他们尝尝我的厉害
First we take Manhattan,then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
来自上天的旨意指引着我
I'm guided by the birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

But you see that line that's moving through the station?
但是你看到那穿过站台徐徐移动的队伍了吗?
I told you,I told you,I told you,I was one of those
我说过,我说过,我说过,我不过是其中一员
Ah you loved me as a loser,but now you're worried that I just might win
你爱我虽然我是一个失败者,但现在似乎你更担心我胜利
You know the way to stop me,but you don't have the discipline

How many nights I prayed for this,to let my work begin
