The Mercy Seat (Live)

I began to warm and chill
他們地盤上的所有這些物品
To objects and their fields
我眼中一個破杯子和一根爛拖把
A ragged cup a twisted mop
讓我開始感到溫暖和涼意不停交變著
The face of Jesus in my soup
在那些所有充滿罪惡感的食物中
Those sinister dinner meals
一個鉤狀骨頭從我食物裡探出來
The meal trolleys wicked wheels
唯獨在湯裡我看見了耶穌
A hooked bone rising from my food
在我看來就連餐車的輪子也是邪惡的化身
All things either good or ungood
萬物皆有善惡
And the mercy seat is waiting
我即將要坐上電椅受刑
And I think my head is burning
我感覺到頭昏腦脹
And in a way Im yearning
在某種程度上我渴望
To be done with all this measuring of truth
結束對這些真相的衡量
An eye for an eye
以眼還眼
A tooth for a tooth
以牙還牙
And anyway I told the truth
無論如何我說的是真相
And Im not afraid to die
我不畏懼因說出真相而死
Interpret signs and catalogue
我想給聖經裡的目錄和符號一個詮釋
A blackened tooth a scarlet fog
在這罪孽深淵中我被染成漆黑的牙齒
The walls are bad black bottom kind
就像這裡的黑色牆壁那樣破敗不堪
They are sick breath at my hind
我從後面密室裡
I hear stories from the chamber
聽到他們在我喘著粗氣
How Christ was born into a manger
聽聞基督是如何在馬厩裡出生的種種傳聞
And like some ragged stranger
聽聞基督就像一個衣衫襤褸的陌路人
Died upon the cross
被釘死在了十字架上
And might I say it seems so fitting in its way
我認為這些傳言都很真實
He was a carpenter by trade
他曾是以木匠職業謀生的人（基督過著木匠的生活，最終反而被釘死在出自木匠工作的木十字上）
Or at least thats what Im told
或那至少是我所知的
Like my good hand I tatooed EVIL across
善和惡只能歸咎於我的雙手（戴了GOOD戒指的手，正是我那一隻殺手。他稱這枚戒指為一個長期受苦的枷鎖，套住了所有叛亂者的血。 ）
Its brothers fist
這是兄弟間拳腳相加
That filthy five
那骯髒的五根手指（把整個事件歸咎於這骯髒的五個手指）
They did nothing to challenge or resist
他們沒有做過任何事來反抗
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
在天上有他的金子製成的寶座
The ark of his Testament is stowed
他的約櫃已經安放好了
A throne from which Im told
有人告訴我那是我的寶座
All history does unfold
滄海桑田
Down here its made of wood and wire
現在下面卻是木頭和鐵絲
And my body is on fire
我感覺得到整個身體像被燃燒
And God is never far away
我的主一直在我身邊
My kill-hand is called EVIL
我殺生的手叫做'邪惡'
Wears a wedding band thats GOOD
並且戴著一隻GOOD的戒指
This a long suffering shackle
這個長期受苦的枷鎖
Collaring all that rebel blood
套住了所有叛亂者的血
And the mercy seat is burning
這個電椅在燃燒著
And I think my head is glowing
我也感到的頭皮發麻
And in a way Im hoping
在某種程度上我希望
To be done with all this weighing up of truth
結束這些對真相的衡量
An eye for an eye
以眼還眼
And a tooth for a tooth
以牙還牙
And Ive got nothing left to lose
我已經一無所有
And Im not afraid to die
所以我也不怕死了
And the mercy seat is burning
這個電椅在燃燒著
And I think my head is glowing
我也感到的頭皮發麻
And in a way Im hoping
在某種程度上我希望
To be done with all this twisted of the truth
結束這些對真相的衡量
An eye for an eye
以眼還眼
And a tooth for a tooth
以牙還牙
And Ive got nothing left to lose
我已經一無所有
And Im not afraid to die
所以我也不怕死了
And the mercy seat is smoking
這個電椅被燒到冒煙
And I think my head is boiling
我的腦子也快要炸了
And in a way Im spoiling
在某種程度上我也在
All the fun with all this truth and consequence
掃興所有這些真相和後果帶來的後果和樂趣
An eye for an eye
以眼還眼
And a truth for a truth
以牙還牙
And anywayI told the truth
因說出真相死並不讓我感到害怕
But Im afraid I told a lie
所懼怕的就是被逼迫說了謊
