St. Peter

In the middle of hell
在地獄中間
Lies a little St. Peter
小St. Peter躺在
In a hospital bed
醫院的病床上
Burning up
身體燃燒著

頭上搭著濕布
With a cloth to his head
高燒糾纏著他
He is ridden by fever
我甚至無法辨別
And I cant even tell
是否惡魔獲得勝利
Whether the demons have won
哥哥依偎著媽媽陪伴著他

努力向上帝祈禱讓他忘記痛苦
And his mother is there with his brother tied to her back
在地獄中間
Praying as hard as she can to a god in a land that I think he forgot
遍布著蚊蠅和死亡

每天都能像往常那樣嗎
In the middle of hell
她說上帝會保佑我
Where death by mosquito
她說上帝會保佑我
Is as everyday as my coffee or your cigarette
我搖了搖頭

因為在醫院的病床上我並沒有看到上帝
And she says God bless me
她說上帝會保佑我
She says God bless me
她說上帝會保佑我
And I shake my head
我轉過頭
Cause I cant see God in this hospital bed
但在這個地方她第一次放開了我的手
She says God bless me
我祈禱著
She says God bless me
阿門
And I look away
阿門
But as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place
我想傾盡所有
I pray
卻無法給與
Amen
我帶來的小男孩
Amen
已經為時已晚

我給了他一瓶水
I got plenty to give
催促他快點離開
But theres nothing to offer
他才7歲
And the little I brought
睡在天堂門外
Comes far too late
我無法忘記他媽媽望向我的眼神

憤怒悲傷瘋狂包含著對孩子深深的愛
But I urge him to leave
在地獄中間
With a bottle of water
我們坐在
He is seven years old
醫院的病床上
Sleeping outside pearly gates
祈求死亡不要降臨

她說上帝會保佑我
And his mother looks at me with eyes I will never let go
她說上帝會保佑我
They are angry and sad beyond measure and mad with a child-bearing love that I know
我搖了搖頭

因為在醫院的病床上我並沒有看到上帝
In the middle of hell
她說上帝會保佑我
We just sit with each other
她說上帝會保佑我
On a hospital bed
我轉過頭
Begging for death to go home
但在這個地方她第一次放開了我的手

我祈禱著
And she says God bless me
阿門
She says God bless me
阿門
And I shake my head
在地獄中間
Cause I cant see God in this hospital bed
小St. Peter躺在
She says God bless me
醫院的病床上
She says God bless me
備受煎熬
And I look away
But as she lets go of my hand for the first time in this place
I pray
Amen
Amen

In the middle of hell
Lies a little St. Peter
In a hospital bed
Burning up
