Modern (2006 Digital Remaster) 歌詞
Jerichos strange, throbbing with life at its heart
奇怪的傑里科,心臟上跳著悸動的生命
people are drawn together, simultaneously torn apart....
人們都被聚在一起,又同時被撕裂。 。 。
Foundations are shattered in the city
被堵住的門內
inside the barricaded doors;
城市的地基支離破碎
hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls,
藏匿在他們的城牆內,孤獨正如那黑夜墜落
maybe the people are waiting for trumpets.
也許人們正在等待小號的呼叫
Babylons strange, seventh wonder of the earth
奇怪的巴比倫,世界第七大奇蹟
gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt
花園被色彩斑斕的火焰吞噬,漸漸在塵土中腐壞
and, with your head on fire, you cant really see.
而且,因為你頭上的火,你並不能真正看見這一切
The hanging gardens sing,
空中花園正在歌唱
but with a hollow ring :
卻伴隨著空蕩迴響的鐘聲
the life is false, its killing me....
生命是種錯誤,它正在殘殺我。 。 。
Dont look back or youll turn to stone;
別回頭,否則你就會變成石頭
look around before your life is overgrown
到處察看,在你的生命生長過度前
with concrete slabs.
與那些混凝土厚片作伴吧
On your back the searching eyes that stab
銳利的目光在你背後捅了你一刀
between chintz curtains, glinting,
閃爍於印花窗簾間
but never owning to a name...
卻從不屬於某個名字
like the inmates of asylums
像收容院裡的精神病人
all the citizens are contagiously insane....
所有的市民都在傳播瘋狂
Atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age
奇怪的亞特蘭蒂斯,某天突然爆炸
no-one really knows what to do,
沒人真的知道怎麼辦
and the city is a cage.
城市已經成為牢籠
It traps in ashen hours and concrete towers,
它困住了蒼白的時間和那混凝土高樓
imprisons in the social order.
社會秩序下的囚犯
The citys lost its way,
這座城已迷失自我
madness takes hold today...
現在瘋狂控制了它
I cant live under water.
掉進水里我會死
I cant live under water.
掉進水里我會死
I cant live under water.
掉進水里我會死
