The Day the Sun Stood Still

We were young and bound for glory
我們青春注定榮光
Itchin' for a fight like you
像你一樣渴望戰鬥
Bringin' hell and purgatory
要把地獄的怒火帶給
To the boys who wore the blue
那些穿藍衣的北方佬
And I thought I'd seen it all
以為自己見證一切
Till the day night wouldn't fall
卻沒看過長夜不再之日
Oh, how the sun did blaze
哦，太陽是如何耀眼
Wouldn't go down for days
多少天都不會落山
I got shot and lost my rifle
在第一波進攻到來時
When the first wave hit the rise
我被擊中，丟了槍
And the guns rolled out like thunder
槍聲轟鳴如同雷吼
And the black smoke burned my eyes
黑煙迷亂我的雙眼
And I watched it all unfold
看這一切在眼前展開
Just the way the Bible told
正如同《聖經》中的景象:
Joshua's endless day
約書亞那永恆的白晝
Keepin' the night at bay
阻隔夜晚不再到來
And the soldiers kept a comin'
戰士們不斷聚集於此
Till the ground looked like a sea
地面彷彿成為海洋
Of blue and grey
其中藍灰交錯相間
And I watched it from a distance
我在遠方注視著戰場
Wonderin' if I would've fought or run away
想知道自己是會戰鬥，還是逃離
The day the sun stood still
太陽靜止的那一天
How they beat the bloody drums
血腥的鼓點迴響
And the seconds moved like hours
一秒如同小時般漫長
But the sunset never comes
日落卻從未到來
And the cannons shake the ground
炮聲傳來震動大地
And the bullets test your will
子彈飛過考驗意志
Even shadows found no cover
甚至沒有陰影的遮蔽
On that Godforsaken hill
於此荒涼山丘之上
The day the sun stood still
就在太陽靜止的那一天
And I watched them lean their shoulders
我看著他們肩膀靠在
To the fearful hail of lead
彷彿鉛做的致命冰雹上
And I prayed for night to save us
祈禱整晚來尋求救贖
And I cried and bowed my head
不禁又哭著低下頭
But the sun just kept a-creepin'
而太陽只是慢慢移動
'Cross a cold indifferent sky
爬行穿過冷漠蒼天
Castin' a deadly glow
將死亡的光芒投射
On all the men below
在之下每個人身上
All the hours in a lifetime
一生中的所有光景
Don't add up to one whole minute in that sun
也比不上驕陽之下，這一刻
And the heroes and the cowards
英雄或是懦夫
Look the same when they have fallen by the gun
中彈倒地之後，終歸都一樣
The day the sun stood still
太陽靜止的那一天
And the north and south looked west
南北士兵都向西望去
But the evening star was sleeping
然而夜空繁星沉睡
And the daylight wouldn't rest
日光久久不願離去
Out on the killing floor
就在廝殺的戰場上
The red sun on the the hill
血紅的太陽俯視山岡
Shinin' down on all the dead men
天光照射無數屍首
With a strange and eerie chill
帶來陌生而又怪異的寒意
The day the sun stood still
太陽靜止的那一天
Do not judge what you brother does
不要評判，兄弟們的舉動
Till you've walked a mile
除非你親身體驗
Rank by bloody file
面對著帶血的刺刀
Who's to say if you'll run or stay and fight?
逃走或是留下來戰鬥，又有誰知道
The day the sun stood still
太陽靜止的那一天
Is just beneath the skin
就在人們肌膚之下
In the soul of every soldier
在戰士們的靈魂中
Every battle that he's in
參加的每場戰役裡
The day the sun stood still
太陽靜止的那一天
Will haunt your dreams at night
將縈繞於夜晚噩夢
And stalk your every sunrise
追隨著每個黎明到來
Though you will not know it till
儘管未曾發覺，直到——
The day the sun stood still
太陽靜止的那一天
How they beat the bloody drums
血腥的鼓點迴響
And the seconds moved like hours
一秒如同小時般漫長
But the sunset never comes
日落卻從未到來
And the cannons shake the ground
炮聲傳來震動大地
And the bullets test your will
子彈飛過考驗意志
Even shadows foundno cover
甚至沒有陰影的遮蔽
On that Godforsaken hill
於此荒涼山丘之上
The day the sun stood still
就在太陽靜止的那一天
