Hey Little Emperor
嘿,小皇帝
Come down from your throne
从你的王座上下来吧
The hour glass is empty
沙漏已空
Your time has come and gone
你的时代已经过去
The battlements are crumblin'
城垛在崩塌
The walls are tumblin' down
城墙在倒塌
Your counselors and concubines
你的谋士和妃嫔们
Are gettin' outta town
正在逃离这座城
Some say it' s an omen
有人说这是预兆
Some say it' s the winds of change
有人说这是变革之风
Which ever way it's goin'
无论它吹向何方
It's blowin' like a hurricane
它都如同飓风般猛烈
Hey Little Conqueror
嘿,小征服者
Where you gonna go
你将何去何从
The world is even smaller
世界比你离开时
Than it was when you left home
变得更加狭小
Emptiness in front of you
前方是空虚一片
And detritus behind
身后是残骸废墟
Nobody ever told you
从未有人告诉你
That history was kind
历史从不仁慈
Standin' on the corner
站在街角
Your fortune blowin' in the wind
你的命运随风飘散
Daddy didn't warn ya
父亲未曾提醒你
There ain't no goin' home again
再也无法回到从前
No pomp and circumstance
再无盛大的仪式
No more Shaock and Awe
再无震慑与威吓
You're just a Little Emperor
你不过是个小皇帝
That's all
仅此而已
Hey Little Hypocrite
嘿,小伪君子
What you gonna say
你还能说什么
When you wind up standin' naked
当你最终赤身裸体
On the final Judgement Day
站在审判之日
How you gonna justify it
你如何为自己辩解
Who you gonna call
你会向谁求助
What if it turns out that
如果最终发现
God don't look like you at all
上帝与你毫无相似之处
The leaves are in the teacup
茶杯中漂浮着落叶
The hieroglyphics on the wall
墙上的象形文字
You ain't the first to rise up
你不是第一个崛起的人
You sure won't be the last to fall
也绝不会是最后一个倒下的人
Hey Little Emperor
嘿,小皇帝
Come down from your throne
从你的王座上下来吧
And let another emperor climb on
让另一位皇帝登上王位
