Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Knife-Edge (2012 - Remaster) 歌詞
Just a step cried the sad man
向前一步跨過哭嚎的傷心人,
Take a look down at the madman
朝下一瞥看見失常的狂人。
Theatre kings on silver wings
乘著銀色羽翼的劇院之王,
Fly beyond reason
飛越了理性。
From the flight of the seagull
海鷗正在翱翔,
Come the spread claws of the eagle
忽而撲來了張開利爪的老鷹。
Only fear breaks the silence
恐懼打破了沉寂,
As we all kneel pray for guidance
我們跪地祈求得到引領。
Tread the road cross the abyss
踏在跨越深淵的道路上,
Take a look down at the madness
俯瞰底下的狂亂。
On the streets of the city
在城市的街道上,
Only spectres still have pity
只有幽鬼尚存憐憫。
Patient queues for the gallows
病夫列隊等候絞刑,
Sing the praises of the hallowed
唱著神聖的讚歌。
Our machines feed the furnace
我們的機械投入熔爐,
If they take us they will burn us
如果我們被接納,它們就會焚燒我們。
Will you still know who you are
你還熟悉真正的自己嗎?
When you come to who you are
當真正的你甦醒過來之後。
When the flames have their season
當烈焰躁動不已時,
Will you hold to your reason
你還能緊握你的理智嗎?
Loaded down with your talents
當你用才智卸下重擔。
Can you still keep your balance
你是否還能掌握平衡?
Can you live on a knife-edge
你能否活在刀刃之上呢?
