Was a long and dark December
那个黑暗而漫长的十二月
From the rooftops I remember
我记起了那时屋顶上
There was snow
覆盖着雪
White snow
纯净的白雪
Clearly I remember
我清楚的记得
From the windows they were watching
他们从窗口张望
While we froze
而我们冷得快被冰冻
Down below
却只能在暗处躲藏
When the future's architectured
当庄严的未来规划
By a carnival of idiots on show
变成一群白痴的狂欢表演
You'd better lie low
你最好保持谦卑不发一言
If you love me
如果你爱我
Won't you let me know
为什么不让我知道呢
Was a long and dark December
那个黑暗而漫长的十二月
When the banks became cathedrals
那时河岸上建起了教堂
And the fog
弥漫着大雾
Became God
虚无缥缈
Priests clutched onto bibles
牧师们死死抱住圣经不放
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
为他们的战争寻找一个理由
And the cross was held aloft
而那十字架却束之高阁
Bury me in honor
被人遗忘
When I'm dead and hit the ground
当我死去倒地的时候
A love back home unfolds
请在荣耀中把我埋葬
If you love me
如果你爱我
Won't you let me know
为什么不让我知道呢
I don't want to be a soldier
我不想成为战争的工具
Who the captain of some sinking ship
跟随领袖走向灭亡
Would stow far below
被雪冰封,无人知晓
So if you love me
如果你爱我
Why'd you let me go
为何让我离开
I took my love down to Violet Hill
我带着我的爱人去紫罗兰山
There we sat in snow
那儿我们坐在雪中
All that time she was silent still
她一直平和而沉默
So if you love me
如果你爱我
Won't you let me know
为什么不让我知道呢
If you love me
如果你爱我
Won't you let me know
为什么不让我知道呢
