Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Knife-Edge (2012 - Remaster) 歌词
Just a step cried the sad man
向前一步跨过哭嚎的伤心人,
Take a look down at the madman
朝下一瞥看见失常的狂人。
Theatre kings on silver wings
乘着银色羽翼的剧院之王,
Fly beyond reason
飞越了理性。
From the flight of the seagull
海鸥正在翱翔,
Come the spread claws of the eagle
忽而扑来了张开利爪的老鹰。
Only fear breaks the silence
恐惧打破了沉寂,
As we all kneel pray for guidance
我们跪地祈求得到引领。
Tread the road cross the abyss
踏在跨越深渊的道路上,
Take a look down at the madness
俯瞰底下的狂乱。
On the streets of the city
在城市的街道上,
Only spectres still have pity
只有幽鬼尚存怜悯。
Patient queues for the gallows
病夫列队等候绞刑,
Sing the praises of the hallowed
唱着神圣的赞歌。
Our machines feed the furnace
我们的机械投入熔炉,
If they take us they will burn us
如果我们被接纳,它们就会焚烧我们。
Will you still know who you are
你还熟悉真正的自己吗?
When you come to who you are
当真正的你苏醒过来之后。
When the flames have their season
当烈焰躁动不已时,
Will you hold to your reason
你还能紧握你的理智吗?
Loaded down with your talents
当你用才智卸下重担。
Can you still keep your balance
你是否还能掌握平衡?
Can you live on a knife-edge
你能否活在刀刃之上呢?
