Prologue - Eluveitie
序言
When I reminisce about all those years,
每当我回忆起那段岁月，
I see many things. Life and death
许多景象仍历历在目，生命与死亡休戚相关。
Strung together like the mountains
就像我们家乡的
and valleys in which we lived.
山峰与谷地。

我们拥有过财宝与富足，
There was Wealth and opulence,
也经历了磨难与失落。

人们曾经欢笑歌唱，
but also tribulation and loss.
却也同样悲痛哭泣，

而更甚于泪水的，
There was laughter and Song,
是洒下的热血。
and there was also tears.
许多人都已逝去，

他们的遗体无人掩埋，不再被祭拜。
But even more than tears,
但是，对我们而言，死亡不过是
blood was shed.
笼罩着黑暗迷雾的另一重旅途。
And so many were left to their
当我们穿过漫漫长路，就会找到一片光明
Unadorned graves, unburied.
——那是存在与永生的光辉。

无论怎样，在我这些年的回忆中，
But to us, death was but another journey.
最为深刻的还是家乡歌曲。我们曾高唱战歌，好似

在我这些年的回忆中，
And Close by the darkness through which
将兵锋相接时的声响压下
we strode, there was also light.
响彻耳际的战嚎声突作沉寂——

兵锋相接时的声响压下。
The Light of life and immortality.
这场战争，已经不再有任何意义。
And after all, when I reminisce about those years,

I mostly remember our Songs. We sang... as if
to drown out the sound of clashing swords,

as if The battle cries fell silent...

because war had lost it's meaning.
